Question: What happens to our soul while we are sleeping? What does sleep do to our soul?
Sri Chinmoy: While we are sleeping the soul may reminisce about its past achievements and try to envision its future possibilities for God-manifestation. In deep inner sleep, the soul gets a kind of confidence that life's outer turmoils are not affecting the inner parts of the seeker's being.
Sri Chinmoy, Sleep: death's little sister, Agni Press, 1974
