Sleeping of a Yogi
Yoga Nidrā is a rare state of conscious sleep beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. It is the yogī's rest where inner awareness remains fully awake while the body sleeps. This unified state is known only to rare, true practitioners. The path involves transcending personal worries and ego. A disciple's perception transforms the ordinary, like seeing a tree as the master. True understanding comes from direct transmission, not mere intellectual learning. The essence is an infinite awareness, without end.
"Yogī jana kī yog nidrā vīrla śānta jāna jānī." (The yogī's yoga nidrā is known only to the rare, peaceful ones.)
"In that sleep, he is awakened. In that night, there is day for him."
