Thesis on God Quotes

“Turiyam means Fourth. Refers to the state of Self-realisation. The state of pure Consciousness beyond the waking, dream and deep-sleep. These three states are conditioned by the gross, subtle and causal bodies respectively. When one detaches oneself from the three bodies, rises above their conditioning, one merges with the pure Consciousness. Reaches the fourth State, Turiyam.”

“The pleasures derived from objects and beings of the world are fleeting, ephemeral. Whereas the bliss of Self-realisation is absolute, eternal. It is the ultimate goal of human evolution. The Enlightened enjoys the uninterrupted supreme bliss.”

“Eternal means beyond time. Time is the interval between two experiences. Just as distance is the interval between two points. There can be no distance at a point. There has to be more than one point to conceive distance. Therefore a minimum of two points is necessary to measure distance. Similarly, two experiences are required to measure time. There can be no concept of time at the first experience. With the second experience alone is time born.”
