Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 D. How can the ego , which is confined to two of the states, endeavor to realize That which comprises all the three states ? Maharshi - The ego in its purity is experienced in the intervals between two states or between two thoughts. The ego is like the worm which leaves one hold only after it catches another. Its true nature is known when it is out of contact with objects or thoughts. You should realize this interval as the abiding , unchangeable Reality , your true Being , through the conviction gained by the study of the three states, jagrat [waking state ], svapna [dreaming state], and susupti [deep sleep].
