The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The prisoner when he is asleep does not know that he is in prison; he is free. The wretched is not wretched; he is contented. The suffering have no more pain and misery. This shows us that the soul is not in pain or in misery. If it were it would also be so when the body is asleep. The soul does not feel the misery of the body and the mind; it is when a person awakes that the soul thinks that it is in pain and wretched. All this shows us the great bliss of sleep. And this great bliss is given to us without cost, like all that is best in life. We do not pay for sleep. We pay thousands of pounds for jewels, for gems that are of no use to us, while we can buy bread for pennies.
