more-inA day is said to be divided into five parts for worship — abhigamana, upaadaana, ijya, svaadhyaya and yoga. Yoga means meditation and when we lie down to sleep, we should do so in an attitude of meditation. Again, when we go to bed, we should wash our feet, but we must wipe them dry. In a state of deep slumber, the Jivatma loses its sense of identity and rests in the Paramatma. Nor is it the state where through jnana a Jivatma reaches the feet of the Paramatma.
