All Our Physical and Mental Illnesses Take Root In The Dreaming State

Living in the waking state which is continuously disturbed by the dream state is what I call living in hell. The dream state penetrating the waking state too much is what we call depression, because we will not have the clarity to think anything further.

All our physical and mental disorders are directly due to the dream state penetrating either the deep sleep or the waking state. If both the waking state and the deep sleep state are penetrated by the dream state, we will have physical and mental disorders.

We will not have the clarity to move further. We will not have freedom or energy to move further. That is what we call depression. We will feel like all the doors are closed on us, all the possibilities are exhausted.

Let me come back to the question, why meditate. Meditation is needed to create an increasing influence and awareness over both your thinking state and the unconscious state. Instead of the dream state penetrating the waking state and the deep sleep state; with meditation, the turiya or blissful state will start penetrating the waking and deep sleep states!

The more and more we meditate, the more we raise our awareness and the more we raise our consciousness of the fourth state – turiya. Turiya itself means fourth. You cannot give an exact name to this state. You can call it by any of these names: samadhi, enlightenment, atmagnana, brahmagnana, nirvana… They are all different names but denoting the same state. When this state starts penetrating and overlapping the waking and deep sleep states, we will see good health happening in the body, mind and being. The purpose of meditation is to experience this fourth state at least once. We should experience this fourth state and bring more and more influence of the fourth state into our waking and deep sleep states.
