The Alembic chemical factory here employs so many workers. It takes all these workers to manufacture just a few chemicals. The human body is made up of hundreds of such chemical factories and yet it runs on its own. When you go to sleep after a meal, do you ever go to check how much and how many digestive juices and enzymes are released for digestion? How attentive are you in these matters? By the morning when you wake up, the body has already assimilated the food you ate. All the nutrients are absorbed in the blood; the waste products are transported for excretion and everything is transported in its right place. Did you have to do anything in running this process? So don’t you think that just as the inner mechanism works naturally, the outer mechanism will too?  Why do you believe that you are the doer? Everything will continue to run on it’s own. During sleep, the body is in its natural state.  You are the unnatural one. In the daytime, you claim that you are breathing. You say that you breathe shallow or breathe deep. Who does the breathing when you are in deep sleep?  Respiration that takes place at night is  natural. It aids the digestion.
