Question: When I am sleeping, even loud noises don't wake me. Does this mean that my soul is far from the physical plane?

Sri Chinmoy: Your soul is not far away from the physical plane, but your soul, out of its infinite compassion for you allows you to sleep as long as you want to.

From:Sri Chinmoy,Sleep: death's little sister, Agni Press, 1974
