Fourth State of Living - Turiya

While there are 3 states of living ...awakening, dreaming and deep sleep , there is a fourth state called Turiya which is Awakened Consciousness. In this state you are perpetually in search for the Eternal Truth and you consider yourself to be in sync with the Higher Self. In this state of consciousness, you run free of desires and do not react to either praise or criticism. You are constantly committed to the Search for the Truth and keep performing as if there is no loss or victory.The Act of Performance itself provides the Joy and you remain in a state of Bliss and Pleasure as your mind is connected to the Supreme Self. 

Every storm that comes into your life is an act of the Supreme Self who manifests in person to you. For those who have read Rabindranath Tagore , there is a poem that dedicates destruction of their residence by a storm to the presence of God who has actually come in person to meet the common man to remind him of his existence. 

In similar Spirit we should accept all the ups and downs in our lives and see each challenge as an example of the presence of the Almighty who has come down to make us aware of his Existence. Verse 13 Chapter 13 of the Gita takes us through this path of Gyana .
