【修持轨理 The Meditation Session】悎寤瑜伽-意乐 How to act properly at the time of sleep – 4th kind of thought
【修持轨理 - 未修中间如何行者】-悎寤瑜伽-意乐
我们平常为什么不相应的？就是因为我们的相续在烦恼当中。既然在烦恼当中相续的话，当然啦，不管你提起来提不起来，都是随顺着烦恼走。现在啊，你这个相续，就是你的身心已经有了善法欲，对这个善法的欲乐相续当中，所以你内心的这种心识等流，一直是跟着那个善法随顺的。因为这样的关系，所以就算你没有提起正念，睡眠的时候，它那个善法还在那里向前走。平常我们说求戒，得戒体，那就是这个东西，说起来。那将来正讲这个东西的，会告诉我们清清楚楚、明明白白。所以，在忘念当中，欸！他也精进，而且修上品的精进。请问，忘念的时候都修上品的精进，你正念的时候还有不修行的吗？那问题解决啦!

【The Meditation Session – What to do in between meditation sessions】- practice diligently without sleeping at the wrong time and how to act properly at the time of sleep – 4th kind of thought
Why is it that usually we do not concord [with the Dharma]? That is because our mindstream is in the midst of afflictions. Since you are in the midst of afflictions, then of course, whether you can generate [the right thoughts] or not, you are still following the afflictions. However, now, your mindstream is such that your body and mind have cultivated a desire for virtue. You are in this mindstream that aspires for virtue. Therefore, this kind of causally concordant consciousness in your mind continues to go along with virtue. Because of this, therefore even if you did not generate the right thoughts when you sleep, that kind of virtue still continues moving forward. Normally when we speak of seeking ethical discipline [or precepts], and wish to gain the substance of ethical discipline, that means this thing, so to speak. In the future, when we specifically talk about this, it will tell us clearly and plainly. Therefore, even if you have forgotten [the right thoughts], hey, it [i.e. the mind] is still in joyous perseverance. And moreover, it is cultivating a high level of joyous perseverance. May I ask then, if you are still cultivating a high level of joyous perseverance when you are forgetful, then needless to say when you do have the correct mindfulness, would you not be cultivating the Dharma? So then the problem is solved!
