Falling Asleep in Meditation

From the perspective of self-abidance, is it more effortless to allow falling asleep in meditation rather than trying to stay awake? Rupert says: ‘Falling asleep is nature’s way of giving us a sample of our true nature and its inherent peace, but it’s not enough to leave us permanently established in our true nature. In meditation, you have to make the conscious effort to relax the focus of your attention from the content of experience and go back to your true nature. Otherwise falling asleep would be sufficient. And it’s not.’
