What is the nature of dreamless sleep?

Generally, when you have what you call dreamless sleep, it is one of two things; either you do not remember what you dreamt or you fell into absolute unconsciousness which is almost death—a taste of death. But there is the possibility of a sleep in which you enter into an absolute silence, immobility and peace in all parts of your being and your consciousness merges into Sachchidananda. You can hardly call it sleep, for it is extremely conscious. In that condition you may remain for a few minutes, but these few minutes give you more rest and refreshment than hours of ordinary sleep. You cannot have it by chance; it requires a long training.

How to deal with chaotic situations and people? What is the difference between the Divine’s will and others’ will? 🙄🙏🏻🪷🌄

This is not true (that if our will is not working then it is the Divine Will). Its logical conclusion will be that if you succeeded then it is a personal will and if we fail it is the Divine Will! No, not at all. The Divine Will cannot be judged by the apparent outer results. For example the Divine may want you to go through temporary failures or ….

Iran-US tensions are causing a lot of oil shortages around the world, including in India. All peace talks are failing, and the possibility of a breakthrough seems to be thin, as both sides are unyielding, causing a deadlock.
