Four States of Consciousness

From the works of Living Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this clip from opening discourse of the 3 day Nithya Dhyaan meditation workshop Swamiji answers the question Why do we need to learn meditation. He explains the four states of the being which are formed by relation between states of mind and states of consciousness. The four states, Jagrat, Swapna, Susupthi and Thuriya define our being. Swamiji reveals deep truths about disturbances such as chronic fatigue caused when our Susupthi sate (deep sleep) is penetrated by Swapna State (dream state). The more the dream state penetrates the waking state, the frequency of our consciousness drops and we are in a lower state of awareness. All physical and mental disorders arise from dream state penetrating the waking state or the deep sleep state. By meditation practices, the fourth state, the state of Turiya will penetrate our waking and deep sleep states and leads us to health in the mind, body and being.The complete discourse may be ordered online at www.lifeblissgalleria.com.

well sure, he knows 9 different languages and has a perfect grammar,what about you.?

your comments says a lot about what you were listening to..not your fault,i guess you have been bred to be have "I am right and all others are wrong" ideology ,

anyways be happy in the darkness of your "the book".where there is no place to ask questions and introspection.Some time i wonder why he gave humans brains he could have feed it with one book and no hassles ever

I can enjoy this because i am not bound by a belief and fear

The Vedic tradition is scientific and has evolved over the ages assimilating the techniques delivered by Rishis.

It is the most practical approach to enlightenment yet, known to man.

Im happy and glad that this tradition is alive and well through Swamiji

@kjvyas Well, we all have our own preferences for things. Diversity is what makes existence so interesting. What would you like him to wear? Whom would you like him to conform to? I just listen to his ideas. I don't notice what he's wearing. It's none of my concern.

is there a need for such a grand institution? Nithyananda seems very spiritually inclined, however, the institution of it all dissuades me

Buddha felt religious institution served as a block for the realization of one's self

So I wonder where Lucid DReaming would come into play? Would that be a good thing? The waking state penetrating the Dream state?

we as humans require balance in our lives, a yin-yang, always. without balance we cant live to our full potential. our brains are thinking and active during the day, while at night, they fluctuate btw deep sleep and the dream state. we need this deep sleep because it is the polar opposite of active thought. having both creates this balance, and consequentially allows for u to be rested the next day.

meditate. be disciplined and do it every day. you will notice how easy it can be if u do this.

God's Gifts for us are Fantastic

Yes I agree with you. I didn't mean to imply that it was necessary for humans to have chaotic minds. I think we as a race will evolve beyond it eventually, as long as we don't destroy ourselves along the way. I hope you achieve realization and wish you the best on your journey.

I am going to see Swamiji tomorrow for a discourse and darshan tomorrow here in Toronto and am very much looking forward to it!
