Mandukya Upanishad
Vaishvanara - waking state
one lives with all senses turned outward
Aware only of the external world!!!
Taijasa- Dreaming state
Senses turned inward
One enacts impressions of past deeds and present desires
Prajna - state of deep sleep
One neither dreams nor sleeps, no mind,
no separateness -But sleeper not conscious of this!
Turiya - super-conscious state
Neither inward nor outward
Beyond senses and intellect ,
In which there is none other than the Lord!
He is the Supreme goal of life!
In Aum (commonly chanted as Om)
A stands for Vaishvanara
U stands for Taijasa
M stands Prajna
Turiya stands at the end of AUM !!!
