Realization of the Self that is Free from Sense of I-ness
(Meinpan se Rahit Swaroop ka Anubhav)
Shree Hari
continued....
I, you, this and that, all these four are untrue, insentient and sorrowful, but the divine reality, is truth, consciousness and bliss solidified. All are eternally established in this sentient existence. Even while conducting one's self in worldly affairs, the reality remains the same. In that reality there cannot be even the slightest modification or commotion or disquietude or perturbation. In that existence there is neither egoism nor mine-ness. That reality is only knowledge personified, there is no knower of this knowledge, there the knowledge or Jnana exists but there is not its knower. So long there is knower, till then there is unipresence or individuality. After the end of unipresence or individuality, only the immutable, egoless, and universal reality remains which is naturally attained to every individual.
In that reality, there are no states of awakening, dream, sound sleep, swoon (faint) and trance (Samadhi). All these five states are perishable and changeable, and the reality is eternal. The stages are illumined while the reality is the illuminator.
All these five states are separate from each other, they change, they have a beginning and an end, but the self is totally free from such changes. Just as in the dream, the things seen (really non-existing) do not exist, in the same way, the knower of those objects i.e. the dreamer's ego is also false. In dream state the awakening state is suppressed, it does not extinguish but in the awakening state, the dream state, come to a complete end. Therefore along with the dream state, it's ego also come to an end. In the same way during the awakened stage, the ego which is perceived by an individual, that also at the time of death, comes to an end, but due to identification of the self with the body, on getting a new body, again the ego is awakened. Although in awakening and dream states etc., ego is also different from one another but because of their reality (existence) being one, the ego also appears as one.
There is also a Turiya state (fourth stage), which is said to be the state beyond sound sleep but in reality the Turiya state is not any state, but on the basis of relativity of the three states, it is called the fourth state. It is called the sate of liberation on the relativity basis of the bondage state. It is also called as the state of extreme bliss (Beatitude of God) (Nirvaan pada)
Pada nirvana lakhe koyi viralaa,
Teen lok mein kaal samaanaa,
Chauthe lok mein naam nisaan, lakhe koyi viralaa |
"The stage of extreme bliss (salvation) is achieved by a rare individual. The death is dominating and pervading in all the three worlds. The name symbol is present in the fourth world, which is visualized by the same very rare individual."
Turiya state or liberated state or the state of Beatitude of God is not any state but this is our own real self or existence.
