The Four States of Consciousness & Seven Attributes of Turiya #34
The nature of the waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states of humanity has been studied by Indian seers for millennia. They have not just examined it from the waking state, like with wires and machines, but from within dreams and deep sleep, and in meditation on the fourth state beyond these three as well. The result has been the discovery of mankind’s inner nature, from wherein all the physical universe has sprung — as projection of mind rather than creation by God. In short, the entire Kingdom of Heaven lies within us, and only a very small and ever changing portion of it lies outside.
Mahavakyas of the World’s Avatars #19
The religious traditions of the world always fall victim to the “My watch keeps the only right time” syndrome, as Sri Ramakrishna has stated. But a close examination of the actual words of the Great Souls who founded these religions always reveals the universal mind shared by these luminaries, as well as their adherence to an Ultimate Reality declared by all — whether called Brahman, Prajna Param, Yaweh, Almighty Father, Allah, or others.
The 3 States, 7 Limbs, & 14 Mouths of the Individual #114
The most advanced spiritual luminaries declare unanimously that “All is Brahman.” When they state this great Truth they mean it transcendentally, but they also intend that it be taken literally and immanently. This chart explains how the apparently individualized soul, the jivatman, is really the Supreme Soul, Paramatman; jiva is Siva! It may shift its locale in awareness when it visits dream and deep sleep, and it also consumes and exudes the natural world while in the waking state — all with its 19 mouths. Considering the individual, or oneself, in this unique and more enlightened way, the chasm between God and mankind can be breached, and the unity of “I and my Father are one,” or “Tat Tvam Asi,” can be realized. This is the best of informed cosmology and all-pervasive nonduality.
Advaita Vedanta’s Pillar of Axioms #93
There is immense beauty and poetry abiding in the otherwise presumed sterility, or the presupposed emptiness, of that great principle seers and seekers call Nonduality. A step by step figuring of the process of the dissolving of human ignorance under the powerful press of advaitic reasoning is one of those beauties, and it is pure poetry, philosophically speaking. Striving souls seldom see this transformation happening to them. That marvel is reserved for the teachers, gurus, and acharyas of these adamant seekers. A clear explanation of this is to be seen on this dharmic wisdom chart, that outlines fourteen pillars of ultimate progress in the world’s finest living philosophy. To quote Vivekananda, whose image graces this revealing chart, “On planes physical, ethical, and spiritual, an ever-broadening generalization — leading up to a concept of Unity Eternal — is in the air; and this being so, all the movements of the time may be taken to represent, knowingly or unknowingly, the noblest philosophy of the unity of man ever had — the Advaita Vedanta.”
