 2202 Experiences in the Five States of Consciousness Within Jagra

Jagra in Jagra

Pertains to Senses;

Svapna in Jagra

Is of thinking and forgetting;

Sushupti in Jagra

Is seeking inward;

Turiya in Jagra

Is abstaining from seeking;

In the state of Turiyatita

Is Nandi verily.

..

The Jiva that passes through Kevala

When it reachs Turiya

Receives knowledge of Tatpara,

Who beyond States, Kevala and Suddha, exists--

Thus realizing the Self within

2299 Attainments in Higher Experience (Para Avasta)

In the Fifth State (Jiva Turiyatita) is Ambrosia;

In the Seventh State (ParaTuriya-Jagrat) is Bliss;

Above in Ninth State (ParaTuriya-Sushupti) is Aum;

In the Eleventh State (Siva Turiya)

Illumined the Jiva standeth;

Abiding there He the (Divine) Body, attains;

Listen damsel that is red-mouthed as parrot!

--These the attainments of the Higher States (of Jiva) are.

2353 Divine Swan Becoming

They who see not the Self within

Will see not the Goal without;

They who see not the Self within

Will incarnate bodies several;

Unite in Lord, the Self effacing;

And in knowledge undifferentiated

You the "Divine Swan" (I-and-He united) became.

...

When Jiva thus practises Yoga

He realizes Truth

And stands, in Grace accepted.

..

Only those who have sent Muladhara Fire

Up into Central Nadi of Sushumna

Will see Purity Real;

Others cannot.

.........

2554 Lord is Real Pure

He is crystal pure, He is fire pure,

He emanates rays of Purity;

Where His source is, they know not,

They who know the Source,

Themselves,

Crystal pure and fire pure become.

....................................

The path of salvation, the way to realisation, is

apparent death, that and nothing else, crucifixion and

nothing else, there is no other way to inspiration.

....

To know

this True Self, this soul, is the necessity for every

one to be happy, but to lose oneself day and night

in this spiritual ecstasy is the share of a few, the

true Faqirs.  

The Law is fire, it burns up all worldly

attachments, it scorches the ignorant mind, yet it

purifies and destroys all kinds of pestilential

plague germs which attack the spirit.

Whatever is within the domain of maya is unreal. Give it up. 




 Destroy the prison-house of name and form and rush out of it with the strength of a lion. 




 Dive deep in search of the Self and realize It through samadhi. 




 You will find the world of name and form vanishing into void, and the puny ego dissolving in Brahman-Consciousness.

"That knowledge is shallow by which one sees or hears or knows another.

What is shallow is worthless and can never give real felicity. But the Knowledge by which one does not see another or hear another or know another, which is beyond duality, is great, and through such Knowledge one attains the Infinite Bliss.

How can the mind and senses grasp That which shines in the heart of all as the Eternal Subject?"



Totapuri asked the disciple to withdraw his mind from all objects of the relative world, including the gods and goddesses, and to concentrate on the Absolute.

702

When there is notion of reality in unreal phenomenon, there is bondage.

703

When there is full awakening, the dullness of intelligence comes to an end.
Then liberation which is peaceful, formless and real comes into being.


Knowledge does not have an object to know. 

Knowledge is independent and eternal. It is beyond description and definition.

When this truth is directly realised, there is perfect knowledge.

By awakening, awakening is attained.
And the concept of awakening is clearly understood.

The world is not what it appears in the eyes of the ignorant.
What is real in the eyes of the enlightened is indescribable.

2870: Sahasrara Center of Liberation

With the seed of Lord

There is a field

Where the Jiva ripens

That field they know not;

If the Grace of Blue-throated Lord there is,

Easy to enter that field

In Truth it is.

2960: They are Inseparable in God

None can intimidate me hereafter,

The Lord came and entered my thoughts,

There will I sport and wander in joy;

No more will I with anyone else be.

If renouncing all,

Jiva There appears,

And empties its thoughts,

No more birth in carnal body will be.

2562 They Seek Him Not--The Witless Ones

Continuous as thread within lotus stalk

Is Param within;

Yet they seek Him not there;

But wander about everywhere;

Though the Way to reach Him shown

They see it not;

Fools are they;

They roam about,

Only evil destiny action to reach.

2596: Knowledge That Knows All

What avails you

If you know all,

But not the Knowledge that knows all?

When you can say,

"I am the Knowledge that knows all"

Then can you well say,

"I am God."

2669: How Lord Enters Within

Thinking of Lord

Their inconstancy lost;

Uniting in Lord

Their existence lost;

In their thoughts

Their ego lost;

Thus he entered

Showing the Way Illumined.

That ray in the eye-brow Center is;

It is the Light within the Light Resplendent.

Only those who received His Grace

Have seen Him forever.

2778: Rapturous Experience Flowing From Witnessing Holy Dance

At the sight of tamarind

Water in mouth wells up;

As unto it,

Are all those who witness the Holy Dance;

They shed tears of joy;

They melt in love of Lord;

In their hearts,

Ambrosial bliss of Divine Light wells up.
