“‘Science of Consciousness’.”

‘Science of Consciousness’. As you may be all aware we are continuing on siddha tradition series, sessions on states of consciousness. Today we will understand jagrat sushupti. Yesterday we understood jagrat swapna means wakeful dreaming, today, wakeful sleeping; jagrat sushupti. I'll read out the translation what siddhas describe as jagrat sushupti then we will understand more deeper.

Vishayangalil manadai nilainirutadu mutrilum velubakkam alayavidivadal vishayangal mutrilummarandagoi vidum nilayam. I am reading exact Tamil words. I'll read the translation. Even the Akkamahadevi sings about this state in a very beautiful way. As I said that whole Cauvery civilization produced enormous number of siddhas like Basavanna, Akkamahadevi in Karnataka and many from Andhra many from Tamil Nadu many from Kerala. This whole Cauvery civilization is source of siddha purushas. Cauvery herself is a siddha, because she is daughter of Agasthya. So she herself is siddha. Her water just creates continuously siddha medicines. Her breeze radiates siddha energy. Jagrat sushupti; wakeful sleeping or I can sleepful waking, state of complete memory loss of information due to total lack of awareness and concentration.

We think, Oh it is an extraordinary disorder, never happens to us at least. No. whenever I ask you, do you remember I gave you this instruction ten days before, if you say no you never gave, understand you are in that state. If you say I don’t remember you are in jagrat swapna. If you say I never gave, you are in jagrat sushupti. This is another one great danger human consciousness faces; chronic fatigue, a deep sleep state penetrating your waking, dreaming, all the other states and disturbing it. It’s almost like a seepage happening in a huge dam.

Please understand when a dam, seepage is the danger. In all big dams you will see little bit of water will always be seeping out slowly very little, little. There is a quantity restriction. If that seepage grows, increases beyond particular level, then all the maintenance people will be shaken. Immediately they will start releasing the water because the seepage gives us the warning that dam is over loaded. It may break any moment. Same way seepage of deep sleep state into waking state and dream state is a warning given to you. Any moment your mind can break. You are in danger. In the dams they will raise the flood flags, the emergency flags; they have some five levels; yellow red like that.

Understand if the dreaming state is penetrating your waking state, I can say the third level danger. If the deep sleep state is penetrating your waking state I can say it is fourth level danger. Then you may think, what is the fifth level danger? It is coming. You are not yet in fifth level danger. But the deep sleep state penetrating wakeful state is really danger; means the seepage level is going up. You need to release water. You need to release the excess water from the dam. You need to protect the dam. Means you need to release all the unnecessary engram and bio memory from the system and protect what you call as you; no other way. You cannot afford, continue to be in ignorance, continue to be in the same state of jagrat sushupti; waking sleeping. It’s dangerous.

Technique to break this deep sleep state penetrating into the waking state is sleep in the day time. You may be thinking O God! Is it from Swamiji or am I in waking deep sleep state. No, it is from me. It is from me. For few days, maybe 21 days, because that’s a one cycle of time you can break any habit and create any habit. Understand for 21 days noon uchchi sandhya we call it. When the sun is in the peak, that the day and night, I can say that morning or afternoon or evening both joins, that is the time uchchi sandhya; you can say around 12 to 2. That two hours if you rest your body even if you don’t fall asleep, make the habit of resting your body and wake up early morning; 5 to 8 don’t sleep; means during the sunrise time. Early morning five jump out of bed. And noon put your body to rest for two hours. This will break the habit of the problem of wakeful sleeping.

If you have that problem this is the solution. If you don’t have don’t try to sleep. It has given us a medicine. Don’t take the medicine when you don’t have the problem. If you have the problem of wakeful sleeping, the ucchi sandhya, see in a day there are four sandhyas, morning sandhya is when the sun rises the night and day meets, ucchi sandhya is when the day and evening meets, evening sandhya when the evening and night meets, ardha jama sandhya midnight early night and late night meets. These are the four sandhyas. Avoid sleeping in the morning sandhya 5 to 8. Rest your body in noon sandhya 12 to 2. You will see this dream state, sorry deep sleep state overlapping on the wakeful state will be broken; that life style that mental setup will be broken.

And again one more process; physically sweating, doing something which makes you sweat, especially in the morning when you wake up, 5 to 8 doing something which makes you sweat. It’s a very powerful thing, doing something which makes you sweat, means the, instead of being in dreaming sleeping state or sleeping dreaming state in the 5 to 8 or deep sleep state, you will be in the wakeful wakeful state, wakeful waking; jagrat jagrat state. When you do some yoga, physical exercise, weight lifting, jogging, running, any physical activity; the beam, the prana beam, the vasi, the air beam, which goes inside your nostrils and comes out will become 100%; the maximum capacity. It means you are in jagrat jagrat; wakeful waking state.

Tomorrow I will give you a clear table how these states overlap on each other, how we can understand, how we can go beyond this states and reach the pure consciousness. Understanding on these states is a very powerful knowledge which can transform your whole life. Let us enter into the next state. Today I will describe at least two three states. Next is jagrat turiya; Waking meditative state. I will call turiya as meditative just for the sake of utility, but it is not exactly meditative no other word, alright, better we can use the word fourth state; wakeful fourth state. Siddhas describe this as the vishayangalayanda sindikumnilai deep state of thinking.

Understand that’s what exactly siddhas are saying. Wakeful fourth state has to be constantly encouraged and entertained and you should be entrained for enlightenment. I described now four states; wakeful wakeful, wakeful dreaming, wakeful sleep, wakeful fourth. The first wakeful wakeful should be your life style, the last wakeful fourth state should be practiced more and more. The between two states should be avoided. First and last should be encouraged, between this two should be avoided.

Thinking in a deep way, deep thinking in vedantic tradition we call this as manana. It’s like a channeled water in one direction; thinking deeply. I have always seen with all the great masters, all their mediums have a tremendous concentrated thinking, because only then you can be a medium. Otherwise body will not settle down with that energy to be divya shariri. I’ll use the word divya shariri; medium word is too loaded and abused and lot of misunderstanding happened with that word. Divya shariri, if you want to become divya shariri of the Master means the sarupya mukti; understand that’s what I call divya shariri sarupya mukti. Two thing basically need to be done; one strong nervous system by yoga and intense physical exercise; ability to do something which normal man’s body can’t do. In some one line, either extraordinary swimming or extraordinary weight lifting or extraordinary power to push, power to lift, something, in one line, physical extraordinary expression. This is the first thing. Second; intense thinking that jagrat turiya wakeful fourth state. Sometime unfortunately if you have that you don’t have this, if you have this you don’t have that. Then you can’t be a strong divya shariri.

Vivekananda says, if a tribal man is ready to take my brain and ready to give his body I will exchange it happily. Then understand how much he would have suffered without having a strong body. Even though comparatively he had a strong body, the body was not able to withstand the hard work; the extraordinary work he had to do. I tell you; fortunately my body withstood in a very strong way the extraordinary work it has to do. But the pressure got transmitted to the cosmic body because I was constantly in that samadhi and working, the whole load got transmitted into the cosmic body.

The tremendous ability to think in one line in a concentrated way is wakeful fourth state. Fourth state penetrating into the waking state should be encouraged, entrained and entertained. This should be a practice. This place is created for people who are in higher state, who are working intensely towards higher state; no compromising, no question of compromising. This is nursery for new man; greenhouse for consciousness. That is why here I take away all your other sufferings. You don’t need to think about food, cloth, place to stay, water. You don’t need to bother about rising price in the world or the rising telephone bill, rising internet bill. Everything is rising in the society; you don’t need to bother about cost of living. But you need to bother about wakeful fourth state. If you are not having the wakeful fourth state you need to intensely work on it.

The way to develop the wakeful fourth state is only practicing, practicing, practicing, thinking; grinding all the great ideas in your brain and expressing it in a unique, innovative way. You should sit in front of mirror and talk to the mirror. There was a great siddha purusha, Shivananda Paramahamsa in Kerala. His disciple is my acharya in the tradition of the mantra shastras and yantra shastras. If you have seen in the YouTube, you will see a video of me drawing a yantra of Subrahmanya. For Skanda sashti, I myself drew the yantra of Subrahmanya in vibhooti. I learnt this science of yantra shastra and mantra shastra from a person Narayana Swamy. He is disciple of Shivananda Paramahamsa.

One of the great technique used in his tradition in his monastery is sitting in front of mirror and talking. It’s used as a spiritual technique. I used to wonder; how can that be helpful for enlightenment. Only when I studied this conscious state and scanned methods and techniques for this, I realized. Sit in front of mirror and cohesively, logically, intensely, talk about one subject at least one hour to the mirror. Every day try this as a practice. Then you will understand the wakeful fourth state will immediately start expressing in you. Your internal thinking will become deep, clear, strong. But only one condition; whatever you talk to the mirror you should be very clear, it should be logical and very cohesive and very in a continuous way you should think the mirror is your Master. You should talk things which is understood, which is accepted by your Master’s logic. Sit in front of mirror and talk visualizing Master is sitting in front of you, you need to match your Master’s logic; only then the jagrat fourth state will start expressing in you.

So today understand these two states; waking deep sleep and waking fourth state. Waking deep sleep should be avoided waking fourth state should be encouraged. If you have taken up some work in the society or in the sangha, think deeply, strategically; analyze; intensely drill yourself into that. It is a spiritual practice of creating wakeful fourth state.

I bless you all to experience that and I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.

Thank you.
