A X “Less thinking, more being; reality waits behind the mind.”

 Here’s a concise bullet, gist, quote, tagline breakdown of your text:


• Bullet Points:

  • Reality appears even when the mind is silent because consciousness is primary, not the brain.

  • Materialism: the brain produces experiences; Advaita Vedanta: consciousness produces the world.

  • Deep sleep: in materialism, the body rests; in Advaita, we return to pure consciousness.

  • Dreams explain our return to reality as “sleep,” masking the metaphysical leap.

  • Analogy: the stage door — the world is a projection, backstage is reality.

  • Waking up in life = returning to mental activity; true awakening = reducing mental activity.

  • Happiness increases as mental fluctuations decrease; the rest naturally follows.

• Gist:
Consciousness is the source of reality. The world is a projection of mind fluctuations, and deep sleep or death is the natural return to pure consciousness. True liberation is recognizing that mental activity is optional, not essential.

• Quote:
"What the dream calls sleep is the door to reality."

• Tagline:
“Less thinking, more being; reality waits behind the mind.”


If you want, I can also create a punchy, social-media-ready 1–2 sentence version that captures the essence in a Zen-style hit. Do you want me to do that?

36. Another misconception of this same ilk, is to

believe that all duality due to ignorance, is absent only

in the state of Samiidhi (trance), even while conceding

that a trace of ignorance may continue to taint a

knower of Brahman in waking till his fructifying

karma is exhausted. Some teachers who pursue this

line of thought, have conceded that subtle impressions

of avidya lie dormant even in this Samiidhi. These

impressions have to be inferred according to them to

be the cause of his corning back to the noramal

state!
