THE CORRECT AND BEST WAY OF SLEEPING
BUDDHA STORY ON BEST SLEEPING.
PART 01
There is a very famous sculpture of Gautam buddha in which he is sleeping on one side that pose is also known as the lion's pose because the lion also sleeps on its one side without moving when Gautam buddha was alive he used to sleep in the same posture whole night in one posture he would not move from side to side or even an inch from his sleeping position one of Gautam buddha's disciples whose name was Ananda was very much troubled because of this every night he could see that buddha was laying still on one side in a single pose whole night sometimes in middle of night he would wake up and would see that buddha was still in same position absolutely still just as he had always been one night he could not resist his curiosity and went to buddha while he was sleeping he woke him up and said I know it is not right to disturb you at night because whole day you have been walking and teaching but I could not wait for morning to ask you this question for 20 years I have been watching you but now I have to ask you about it anyway please tell me that how do you manage to remain in same posture that you go to sleep in in same posture for whole night do you sleep or do you simply go on keeping that posture because when I sleep I have to move continuously I can't sleep still in one position whole night Gautam Buddha said, "I have found the right posture for myself now." There is no need to change it and I am as awake as anyone even when my body is asleep. I have found the right posture for my body, but you are still searching for it. It is not simply a question of tossing and turning the body. It is because your mind is tossing and turning. That's why you keep changing posture again and again throughout the whole night. I have gone beyond because when I sleep there is no mind. The body simply lays down like a dead body.
Have you ever seen any dead body changing its posture when you sleep? I sleep like a dead person, but at that time I am aware from the inside. If you also want to reach the extreme limit of awareness, then you have to practice sleeping in such a way that when you sleep your body is like a dead body, the mind is asleep but you are aware from within. If we see in our lives then we will find that it is our mind that keeps on busy all the time during the Our mind always keeps thinking and while sleeping at night it always keeps dreaming. In fact, dreams are also a kind of thought in which our mind keeps thinking during sleep. What we think, what we see, or what we hear during the day, we see it in our dreams at night due to the lack of peace of mind. We keep turning and tossing all night. But once your mind is at rest, your mind is at peace. Once it disappears, your body can remain asleep but your inner eye Your inner sensitivity Your inner awareness can remain burning like a small flame, not only watching your body but also watching the silent mind and the stillness around you. This is also called yoga nidra in Sanskrit. The enlightened person never sleeps like an ordinary person. When the ordinary man sleeps, he is simply unconscious and his mind is busy dreaming. But when an enlightened person sleeps, he is not unconscious. His body lies like a dead person. His mind is totally at peace. From within, he is totally aware. Like a lamp is lit in a room and every corner is illuminated. The more your mind is calm, the less you will have thoughts. Therefore, whether you are awake or you are sleeping, the lamp of awareness within you should always be lit.
