What was not there in deep sleep is not real now... 1

Interesting quote by Ramana Marharshi.
Listening to Superheroes of BMX by Mogwai at the moment, just a-chillin', feeling really good, really wise... here in Spring night-time Australia.
I see that the space in front of me is not external, it is an extension of the observer.
This Suchness alone exists.
The security it provides allays all fears, all doubts, nothing else can be said or known.
But it itself is not known, making it such that the desire to know more, is not under threat by lack of material to digest.
That is, one is not bored by the presence of this Suchness.
An ecstasy keeps creeping in, an eternity, a healing, a security... the great security of eternity.
...
What a nice night.

 I remember that quote, later, if my memory is right, he said that only thing that exists in both states is the Self.

Wouldn't know that quote. But Mogwai I know 
Had a lovely night just last night, clouds were frozen in my sight. I could see them, as I could see Me. Here, yet distant.. never ending.

Only what is constant can be real, and that is the Self of the universe
In the waking state, during dreams, and in deep sleep you are the same regardless of what arises or subsides So in order to find unsurpassable peace we want to awaken to that constant Self The paradox is that if you consciously go into deep sleep in the waking state, then you awaken You fall asleep to your thoughts, your dreams, and you awaken to the presence of the Self
I went to download superheroes of bmx, then thought i should check my music library first
I love when i realize that what i'm looking for i already have

Yup, that is what I have been saying. The bliss just keeps growing.
The way to go further in is through surrender in love. Love for God and devotion to him.
THe other way is through the inquiry who am I?
At a certain level of consciousness these two "methods" cease to be different and become exactly the same action.
At an even higher level, there is no longer any action, there's just what is.
