Kindle Notes & Highlights
Turiya, pure consciousness, is the only reality, and this is the answer to ‘Who am I?’ The question is, ‘Who am I apart from the physical world of the waking state, apart from the mental imagination of the dream state and apart from the blankness of the deep sleep state? Turiya illumines the waker, illumines the dreamer, illumines the sleeper and also appears as the respective physical world, dream world and deep sleep blankness.
The Self is not the dreamer, not the waker, not an in-between state, not the deep sleeper, not the all-knower and not unconscious. The Self is invisible, not transactable, not graspable, cannot be inferred, beyond thought and beyond language. It is the essence of the “I-sense”, the quiescence of the universe, peace itself, bliss itself, nondual and thought to be the fourth. That is the Self to be realized.
You are the consciousness which is watching all this panorama - this game of waking, dreaming and deep sleep.
