According to a past great teacher, Siddharameshwar Maharaj, these can be considered as steps on a ladder. Most people are established in the mind/body (subtle/gross) identification. From there, one can become established in the deep sleep state (causal). And then the turya, also called 'the fourth pada' (4th foot), although it underlies and is the previous 3. The turya (transcendental)is also known as Brahman, Consciousness, I-Amness. If one becomes established in and as Brahman, they have done well. Most teachings stop here but Siddharameshwar Maharaj talks of that which is beyond the turya called the turyatita or Parabrahman. All this is incremental. Yet, I would add, never, at any stage, are we not what we already always are. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does seem as if in order to find our homes, we have to start out from home, journey around the world over a long period of time, finally come back home before we know we were at home from the very beginning...Maybe I can't know what home is until I know non-home? ______________________________\ ____ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Hi Steve, And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time. Through the unknown, remembered gate When the last of earth left to discover Is that which was the beginning; At the source of the longest river The voice of the hidden waterfall And the children in the apple-tree Not known, because not looked for But heard, half-heard, in the stillness Between two waves of the sea. Quick now, here, now, always-- A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything) T. S. Eliot (Four Quartets) Best wishes, Dennis advaitin [advaitin ] On Behalf Of Steve Stoker 15 December 2007 17:15 advaitin Re: Re: Vaisva Taijasa Prajna Turiya All this is incremental.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Thanks, Dennis. T.S.Elliot and W.H.Auden are my favorite poets, in that order. I think both of them " got it " .

Dear Steve-ji, You are absolutely right. " the greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence. " -Swami Vivekananda. Best Regards, Br. Vinayaka.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I don't know Auden but Eliot definitely! You might be interested in a book 'T. S. Eliot - Vedanta and Buddhism' by P. S. Sri, ISBN 0-7748-0239-1, although you might have difficulty finding it.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hi Dennis, I'm aware of the book you mentioned but haven't tried to find it--I'm sure you know what having a reading list is like...when do I read what from the long list I have??? Will search for the book, though. Best wishes, Steve ______________________________\ ____ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
