Sage Vasishtha
It is only because of forgetfulness of truth that the confusion arises that the unreal is real. By the purification of the life-force (prana) and by the knowledge of that which is beyond this prana, one gains knowledge of all that is to be known concerning the activities of the mind as well as the basis for the succession of births.
The self all living beings passes through three states: waking, dreaming and deep sleep. They have nothing to do with the body. The wise man who goes beyond the deep sleep state (which is pure consciousness) returns to the source: but the fool who does not is caught up in the life-cycle.
One should enquire into that which is truly the uncaused cause of all substances, which is yet beyond all such causation: this alone is worth enquiring into, for this alone is the essential. Why enquire into the non-essential?
