Your sense organs are not connected, you are offline, you are sleeping offline. Yet in our dreams we actually we see, we hear, we smell, we taste, we touch, we feel, we can hear people talking. Not only that we act also, we feel that we are walking around talking to people and so on. In the waking state all the senses are acting but they all depend on the mind. The external world is revealed to us. We are still there. That means in the blank state also it was like a seed state. When we come back again to our waking state all our memories are there, all our tendencies are there. Blankness does not mean the universe
Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches the Katha Upanishad, one of India's most revered texts which is also a part of the Vedas. It is a collection of philosophical poems representing a conversation between the sage Naciketas and Yama (god of death). They discuss the nature of Atman, Brahman and Moksha(liberation).
