Can that one Consciousness divide itself into two? Is the division of the Self felt? On waking up from sleep, one finds oneself (to be) the same (Self) as in the sleep states. That is the experience of each person. The difference lies in seeing, (or) in the outlook. Because you imagine that you are the seer, (and) separate from the experience, this difference arises. Experience says that your real Self is the same throughout. Do you feel any difference between external and internal in your sleep? This difference is only with reference to the body and arises with body-consciousness (the "I"-thought).
