Panchadashi 1.41

During samaadhi, there is non-experience of sleep, but there is experience of the self. This is called "connection" of the self. Also, at that time, even while the self is experiences, sleep is not experienced. This is called "disconnection" of sleep.

In samaadhi (which will be described later), there is lack of experience of sleep (ignorance called the causal body). But there is experience or shining of the self. This alone is called the "connection" of the self. When there is experience of the self, but there is no experience of sleep or ignorance, is called the "disconnection" of sleep.

The summary of this is: This self is distinct from the food and other sheaths, because it does not get covered when the food and other sheaths are covered. It always remains uncovered. That which does not go even when other things go, is different than those other things.

Examples: The thread of a garland is different than the flowers of a garland. The cow species is different than a black or yellow cow.
