preceptor and the Srutis. Leam from your preceptor thefundamental tenets of Advaita Vedanta. The Advaita Vedantinadmits six Pramanas but the final court-of-appeal for him isthe Srutis. Srutis contain the inspired revelations andexperiences of realised sages. He always opens his Vedanticdiscourses in the following manner. Sruti Bhagavati says,"El
you are meditating. If the body is heavy, if the mind is dull,know that you were sleeping while meditating.Through ignorance and lust comes death. Throughknowledge the deathless state or the immortal Atman isreached. Both life eternal and death abide in the body. Life is alightning flash or breath. Time is but a thunder-clap of death.Live in Atman. You will attain immortality. Go beyond time.You will attain eternity.Withdraw the Indriyas. Meditate. Live in the Self. Yourwhole being will be uplifted into a kind of rapturous delight ormystic ecstasy. You will feel the divine thrill of joy. Wonderfulpeace will envelop you. You will be drowned in the ocean ofbliss. All desires will melt into nothingness all names andforms will vanish. You will behold the Self only everywhere.This wonderful state is indescribable. You will have to feel ityourself. Just as the dumb man cannot express his feeling ofjoy when he tastes the sugar-candy, so also you'cannot expressthe bliss of Samadhi or Union with the Supreme Self. Wordsare finite to describe this state. Language is imperfect toexpress this experience. It is the language of the supremesilence. It is the supreme stillness of the immortal soul. It isthe peace that passeth all understanding. This is Turiya or thefourth state.May Turiya be your cenre, ideal and goal!!TURIYA OR THE FOURTH STATE 147
