VEDANA : Page 20 of 23

ATHARVA  VEDA  :   MANDUKYA  UPANISHAD:        Page   20   of   23
======================================================
OM (A- U-M) and  4 Stages   of   Consciousness.
MIND:  .  UTWARD   -----INWARD   --------NIL
A-U-M    Stands   For    Supreme  Reality.[ A   for   Vaishwanara ;  U  for  Taijasa ;  M  for Prajnya
TURYA   is Super-Coscious State.
Brahman   is   ALL   and   the   SELF     is    Brahman.
CONSCIOUSNESS:
   I. Vaishwanara ---> When   one   lives    with   all  Senses   turned    outward.
  II.  Dreaming   State:   When  Senses   turn  inward   with   Past-deeds  and  Present  Desires.
  III.Prajnya:   (Deep Sleep) :  When  one   neither   Dreams   nor   Desires.   No  Mind  involved  in  this
      Stage.And  the  Sleeper  is  not   Conscious . If  he/she   was , it would open  the  Doors  of  abiding
     Joy.
IV.  Super Conscious  State  :  Beyond  all  Senses  and   intellect  .

MIND  EXTERNALIZED  IS   THE   WORLDLY  MAN  .

MUNDAKOPAMISHAD :
Knowledge   of   Two  forms:  a)  Higher     b)  Lower.
Studyof  Veda, Linguistics, Astronmy  ,Art   are  all   lower   Knowledge .
HIGHER  KNOWLEDGE  :  SELF-REALIZATION  or  the  Knowledge   of   the   DIVINE  .
As the  Web is   out   of  the  spider  and   is   withdrawn, the  BRAHMAN  project  out  the Cosmos  ou  of  ITSELF  as  Evolutionary   Energy.
All   Knoledge, Perceptions  , Actions  are   from   the   Self.

RITUALS and   'SACRIFICES'   deal  with    lower   Knowledge.
Actions  prompted  by  pleasure   and   profit  can  not  help   anyone  Cross  the  Sea  of  Life .
Everything  in  the  Cosmos   large  or  small  lives   in   the   SELF.
Stop   all   vain   talks    and   you   will   advance.
It  is  THAT   power   that   moves  our   body   and   mind .
Ego   and   Self  are  two    Birds   perched   on   the  Self-Same-Tree.
So  long  we  are  in  the  House   of   Ego,   we   feel   attached   and   fall   into  Sorrow.
Desiring   nothing     of   this   Physical   world   is   the   Best  way  though  very  difficult .
After  Death ,  the  Vital   Forces   Return   to the Cosmic  Womb  and  become   beneficial  forces .

 The    Flowing  River   merges  in   the  SEA.
" Aakaashaat  pototi   Toyam   Sagorom   Proti-Gochchhoti "  --Shankaracharya.
Transliteration:
   ' Water particles   come   down   from  Space  and  advance  to  merge   in   Ocean.'
