there is a meditation technique that supposedly was given to v. moggalana by buddha wrote here like this:
> “If you do not abandon your drowsiness by doing that, Moggallāna, then
> you should pay attention to the perception of light – the night as the
> day, the day as the night. In this way you should develop an open
> mind, a mind of unveiled radiance. By doing this it is possible that
> you will abandon your drowsiness.
but then another script is saying it's delusion:
> “There are some contemplatives & brahmans, brahman, who have the
> perception of ‘day’ when it is night, and of ‘night’ when it is day.
> This, I tell you, is their being in a dwelling of delusion. As for me,
> I have the perception of ‘day’ when it is day, and of ‘night’ when it
> is night. If anyone, when speaking rightly, were to say, ‘A being not
> subject to delusion has appeared in the world for the benefit &
> happiness of many, out of sympathy for the world, for the welfare,
> benefit, & happiness of human & divine beings,’ he would rightly be
> speaking of me.
which one is correct? both? or perhaps it depends on context? what is the context?
