Why did I get into all this
metaphysics? It is to tell you that the ‘samhAra’ state, namely ‘Dissolution’ is what is nearest to the turIya, the Brahman. Neither in the jAgrat (waking) nor in the svapna (dream) is the jIva as restful and unperturbed as in
the turIya-samAdhi
state.
But he is so
in the sushhupti
(deep sleep)
state. But again that calm that he obtains in the sushhupti state is not an ‘experiential’
calm. It is so only in the ‘samAdhi’ state. That is of course true.
However, when compared to the jAgrat
and svapna states, the sushhupti state is the one nearest to the
turIya-samAdhi state.
