CONSCIOUS IMMORTALITY

CONSCIOUS IMMORTALITY

Q: Ecstatic experience implies the association with a very subtle mind state. What is your state in sleep?

M: No ecstasy or pain, but beyond both. The natural state is just that, with consciousness of existence added.

Q: What is turiya?

M: Turiya is mind in quiescence and aware of Self, with awareness that the mind has merged in its source. Whether the senses are active or inactive is immaterial. In nirvikalpa samadhi the senses are inactive. To know, implies subject and object. To be aware means to be thought-free.

Rumi

There is nothing outside of yourself. Look within, Everything you want is there- you are That.

~ Rumi

Real teacher

A real teacher will not give you anything to do. No method. Nor can he give you freedom!
He simply removes the concept of bondage. You can do it yourself. If you can't, go to a good teacher. That is the teaching of a true teacher.

~ Papaji
