Ananta clarifies that awareness remains unchanged across all states, noting that even the report of 'nothing' in deep sleep confirms a prior knowingness that exists before the emergence of the 'I Am' presence.

The knowingness that there is no phenomenal thing in sleep is what I call awareness.

Awareness remains unchanged, but the presence of 'I Am' comes into existence in the waking state.

In the sleep state there was just awareness; now there is an awareness of consciousness.
