Swaapyayaath

"Swa" means 'in oneself', that is to say, 'in Brahman'. 'Apyayaath' means 'since it merges'. The two words convey this meaning. They tell us, "since it is said that the individual Jivi merges in Brahman", what happens to the Jivi during deep dreamless sleep is its resumption of its real nature, Sath or Being. Since the self attains the Self which is itself, it is then the Atma and nothing else. The Atma which appeared as if enclosed in name and form discards the name and form and merges in the Universal Atma. The wave has merged in the ocean. It had Become; now it is just Being, Sath.

The core of all Vedantic texts and teachings is this truth:

• Brahman is both the efficient and material cause of the Jagath, the Cosmos, which merges and emerges (Ja and Ga) and
• Brahman is one and one only and so, there is nothing in the Cosmos apart from Brahman, without consciousness. There is nothing jada or inert and inactive. Brahman is, according to the scriptures (Sruthi) and the Vedanta texts, not only Sath but also Chith, Consciousness awareness.
