SUBDIVISIONS OF CLASS 2.
6. Sleep in which you have to touch the body
of the person in order to awaken him; it is strong sleep; the consciousness has been fatigued so much that it requires a fair stimulus to wake the man up. The consciousness goes to sleep while the body is sitting very strong degree of sleep. Sleep while walking ( known sonetimes of soldiers on the march). The somnambulistic state; this is the worst form of this kind of karma ! of darsbanavaraniya karina ). Avaraniya means obscuring or preventing. This also includes the hyp
notic state. The higher you rise in advancement the more you have the consciousness of your thoughts, of your actions, and of every activity through which you pass. The less you are conscious of these things in the downward direction you are going.
With regard to the avadhilately mentionea where the soul comes to know directly of distant things without the use of the eye or eat etc, this avadhi must take place in the wakiag state, while the eye and ear etc, are there and awake, this avadhi is not any kind of dreau or trance state, it takes place in the ordinary waking state, when one is up and about.
