REALIZING NON–DUAL LIBERATION, ENLIGHTENMENT BY SELF-INQUIRY–pt79
Sri Ramana Maharshi's Teaching is based on Knowledge of
Reality, by the Reality, itself. So, it would not be right to call his Teaching
a supposition, a doctrine, or anything similar. It is entirely of the True
Nature of Transcendent Wisdom. This
Teaching does not involve the Mind. It is not a setting forth of ideas, even well-arranged
ideas. It is the revelation of True Knowledge of the Real Self, by the Real
Self, for Itself. So, it does not
include any of the Duality, or any of the Triads
(Knower, Knowing, Known, etc.), that one wants to dissolve. Duality is thinking
that there is a Triadic state & a
non–Triadic State. Sri Ramana's
instruction deals directly with Reality.
The 3 States are seen as 3 only so long as Consciousness is
not known as it is. Dream is to Deep
Dreamless Sleep, emerging but within it,
"forming" yet not really so, for it is within the Formless. So also
is the Waking State
to Turiya (the 4th), which is
actually pure Consciousness. Turiya, or the Transcendent
State , is just pure Consciousness,
which, being beyond the 3 States, is beyond the notion of a "4th State". So it is also called Turiyatita, "beyond the 4th". Consciousness remains as the one
Existence, which is in, & which
itself is, its Natural
Innate State
ever. The 2 States of Waking & Dream
are not consistently present. Those States
& Deep Dreamless Sleep are passing appearances.
