Turiyatita: beyond the beyond


“The Seer who knows his nature as pure and true awareness, vast as the sky and bright as the sun, has no fear.” Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi


Like a swimmer caught in a powerful current, straining every muscle, yet not moving an inch, one struggles in vain to overcome the illusion.
Fatigue brings surrender and the sweet relief of letting it all go.
Stop fighting- let the current carry you away.

As long as there is effort, it’s not over: when there is no doer, it becomes effortless.
Complete surrender is the miracle: Grace takes over, like a mother rocking her babe to sleep.
In Her arms, at last there is rest.

All the drama ceases.
Now begins the perfection of turiya, the state of waking sleep.
Here and now, no thought, no fear;
Only blazing wisdom like a thousand suns.

Even this disappears – in the void of turiyatita, nothing remains.
This nothing is everything: drink deep of it!
No words can describe the taste of that infinite peace.
