Three States Of Water

Reading this passage authored by Natureza Gabriel Kram reminds me of Adi Sankarachrya the enlightened Vedantic teacherborn 1500 hundred years ago. He describes four states of consciosness: normal state of wakefulness-Jagrati, dream state of consciousness-Swapna, Sushupti -sound sleep state of consciousness, and Turiya-Transcendental or Unitive state of consciousness. The first three states of consciousness are like liquid, solid, and steamy states of consciousness and water going through the first three states of consiosness without being bound by liquid, solid, and steamy states of consciousness. When our contemplative practices go deeper we realize the Trancedental or Unitive Conscousness. And that is Self, our True Nature. This is the defining charecteristic of a Self-realzed being with no divisive boundaries and barriers, beyond time and space. When my meditative state goes deeper I experience Turiya, the Trancendental Consciousness. In that state the egoic mind, the little self fades away and this is an experince of Transcendental or Unitive Consiousness. I come "home", a home of harmony, openess and oneness. In this state I experienc profound peace, deep contentment and bliss. Arriving at home takes time, pateince, persistence and perceiverance. This is a spiritual journey, an inward journey, an inner work, sadhana. I have been on this journey for along time and I am not in a rush to reach my destnation, moksha, liberation, slavation. I bow to all who are on this spiritual path, my fellow voyagers. Namaste! Jagdish P Dave Namaste
