When the mind is relinquished, everything is forgotten, and "nothing" remains. That nothingness is the causal body (Karana-deha). This is the "Night of Ignorance." Beyond this is the kingdom of Mahadeva. If we study this forgetfulness deeply, we can experience that there is this nothing that is called the causal body. When all is forgotten, and this nothing remains, then you must also give up that very nothing. When all is gone, all is thrown aside, what remains is you, yourself. This Consciousness is Brahman. He is the knower of the three worlds; the waking state, the dream state and the deep sleep state.

.

The dream comes and goes, the deep sleep comes and goes, and even the waking state comes and goes. Knowledge of things comes and goes, and Knowledge itself comes and then goes away. Every thing that comes, goes away, yet you remain. That which is changeless and eternal is "You." You witness all of these states. Any taste that comes is sure to go. Any pleasure enjoyed has gone. You may understand anything, but that which you understand does not remain. It is all in the Illusion and thereby mortal.

.

Anything that is of this realm, whatever is enjoyed, whatever is experienced, even Knowledge, is not immortal.

.

Only the "Man of Self-Knowledge," the Jnani, enjoys the "Nectar of Immortality."
