Changadeva Pasashti

To become one with the Self,
surrender all impulses of the mind.
Then you will know the sleep beyond sleeping, 
the wakefulness beyond waking.

-Shri Jnaneshwara, Chângadeva Pâsashtî

This statue, garlanded with marigolds, depicts the Hindu deity Shri Vishnu with half opened eyes, awakening from, or entering, cosmic sleep. Budhanilkantha Temple, Nepal.
