Namaste Soul,
Thanks Soul for your excellent simple answer.
Let me relate a story.
A son was born to a blind man. Next day the son died while drinking milk. The blind man with grief asked a friend
How did my baby die?
By drinking milk.
How is milk?
Milk is white.
How is white?
White is like the crane.
How is the crane?
The friend made the blind man feel his hand, which he made like a crane and said, The crane is like this.
Immediately, the blind man lamented, Ah! No wonder my small child should die on taking such a big thing!

It is mind that wants to find cause for everything. But the thoughtless matter beneath the mind is That. Thoughts will ever hide it.
Sadhu Om who has narrated the above story also teaches that when one knows the nature of deep sleep, one knows that nothing was lost ever. Nothing was divided and nothing was created. The Guru suggests diving deep by holding the I awareness (Pragnya) till nothing separate remains from the I and thus the I itself is known as indivisible pure knowledge -- The Sleep absolute.
------------------
Sleeping Mahavishnu being the source of the Universe, as suggested, is thus the Pragnyathat has become All.
Om Namah Shivaya
That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
