What is Turiya?
Turiya is a Hinde term describing the state of absolute reality, exceeding all other experiences and relaxing completely pure consciousness. Turiya is a transcendent state of awakening and at the same time it is a state that is always present, the basis of all other states of consciousness. The first state is when the mind is up and is called in Sanskrit jagrata . In this state, the subject, the person in the world, interacts with the subject of the physical world. The awakening situation is what most of us experience in the vast majority of our lives, with our conscious minds the interpreting things we see and processing the material world of an immediate moment. This is when we sleep, but our mind is still devoted to a conscious level with the mental world. Dreaming sleep looks like Corollary to alertness, with a conscious mind still interacts with the world, even though the world of sleep. Both jagrata and Svapna can be considered fundamentally dualistic, with the object of interpretative objects or ego-state interacting with it beyond.
The third state of common consciousness is a dream -free state or suspectti . In Susupti seems to be a conscious mind is not present because there is no object interacting with objects. In this sense, Susupti is perceived as a not dualistic state of consciousness. However, it is still said that he is conscious, because the very recognition that one does not eat does not show understanding of the self. Like saying that you have not heard in a quiet room, it shows that there is someone you hear, or say that you are not seen in the dark shows that you have dreamed, that nothing has fallen as recognition, that there is someone to dream or do not.
On the other hand, Turiya is considered a state of consciousness outside three normal conditions. Sometimes it is called the fourth state and is below the other three states. Turiya is the embodiment of consciousness itself, not its manifestation. It is the completeness of everything and miners from which all consciousness flows. At the same time Turiya is morethan just the concept of everything. In Mandukya Upanishad, Turiya is not what is aware of the goal, neither subjective nor both, nor simply consciousness, nor all the sensitivity, nor all the darkness. It's "invisible, transcendental, the only essence of self -consciousness, finishing the world."
yogis attempts to fully realize the state of Turiya through practice, involvement in sound resonance, breathing exercis and body form. Yoga Turiya emphasizes complete freedom, rejecting strength and strength, and instead accepts the ideal of universal harmony that one can learn to resonate inside.
