Ajay Luthra from Raipur has sent this story : Once a man was sleeping when Buddha was giving his sermon. Buddha asked him are you sleeping? He replied no, but he kept sleeping. After asking the same question few times when the man replied the same way Buddha asked, are you alive? He replied in the same way by saying No. Everyone started laughing but Buddha said being sleepy is like being dead. While being asleep you said the truth. Please be awake.
