Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.26.71-72
"When a man is sleeping, all his material assets — namely the vital energy, the senses for recording knowledge, the senses for working, the mind and the intelligence — cannot arouse him. He can be aroused only when the Supersoul helps him." "Therefore, through devotion, detachment and advancement in spiritual knowledge acquired through concentrated devotional service, one should contemplate that Supersoul as present in this very body although simultaneously apart from it." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/26/71 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/26/72

One has to observe celibacy, be grave and execute his eternal activities, offering the results to the Supreme Personality of Godhead."
