why i am unaware, not awake?

score:3

When you are deep sleep (Bhavanga) you are unaware. When you are awake you do have some awareness (Ekaggata - 1 of the 7 universal mental factors) but it not penetrating awareness as you do not have enough focus (Samadhi).

From an inconceivable beginning comes transmigration. A beginning point is not evident, though beings hindered by ignorance and fettered by craving are transmigrating & wandering on. Assu Sutta: Tears
