ANDAL

Man Has to Awaken from Sleep, Too

Human beings, too, are lost in sleep. A person's life is mere sleep until he awakens to the greatness and the glory of God. The days and years he spends in seeking other pleasures and objects are like time spent in sleep. When he realizes  the greatness of God he is like one who awakens from dreams to the reality. The devotee who has surrendered himself to  God finds pleasure in nothing except the thoughts of God.
