Impersonal...


In your sleep, your personality goes completely, and
you become impersonal.

There is, however, a seed
of personality potentially present even in sleep, on
account of which you wake up the next morning.

For
all practical purposes your personality is wiped off,
and so it is that you are very happy in sleep, indicating
thereby that impersonality is the source of happiness,
that personality is the source of sorrow.

The more you
are personal, the more you are grief-stricken.

The
more you become impersonal, the more you become
happy.
