principles of Cosmic Union.
Transcending the three relative
states of Waking ( Jagrat ), Dreaming ( Swapna ) and Dremless Sleep ( Sushupthi
), there exists a Fourth State of Consciousness ( proved conclusively in
Dr Keith Wallace’s PhD Thesis ” The physiological effects of Transcendental
Meditaton”, UCLA. 1975 and published in the Scientific American ).
This
Fourth State is known in Sanskrit as Thureeya. Transcendental Consciousness is
Thureeya and Cosmic Consciousness, the Fifth State, is known as Thureeyatheetha
in Yogic scriptures.
Bhagavan Patanjali was an incarnation of the Lord.
The Lord in His Bounty, incarnated as Patanjali to reveal to humanity the Wisdom
of Yoga Sastra.
Later, Aurobindo integrated all the four systems of Yoga
– Bhakti, Jnana, Karma and Raja – and called it the Integral Yoga.
In
the early hours of morning, I meditate
On the Absolute Self, which alone
exists
Which is of the nature of Being-Knowledge-Bliss
Which is the end of
our evolutionary journey
Which transcends the relative states triune
I am
that partless, undifferentiated Brahman
And not this assemblage
apparent
Of matter envelopments, bound by Nescience !
