A further explanation of this is:
\u2018Whatever has come about, whatever is now coming about, whatever will come about\u2019, all this is the syllable \u2018Om\u2019.
Everything else that transcends these three manifestations of time, also is the syllable \u2018Om\u2019.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n- [This is so] because this whole universe is Brahman [the Divine ground of the universe].
One\u2019s own Self (\u0101tman) here is [also] Brahman.
This Self has four [equal] parts.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n- Located in the waking state, with its power of discernment directed to the outside world, with seven limbs, having nineteen mouths, enjoying matter, what all humans have in common: this is the first part.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
4. Located in the dream state, with its power of discernment directed within, with seven limbs, having nineteen mouths, enjoying the subtle [ie the world of conceptualisations], consisting of light: this is the second part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. When, while asleep, there is no feeling of desire and one doesn\u2019t see dreams, then that state is the state of deep sleep.
Located in deep sleep, having become one, being nothing but discernment [without object before it], consisting in joy because experiencing joy, with consciousness as its mouth, latently conscious: this is the third part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n6. This is the Lord of the universe,This is the Omniscient, This is the Inner Controller, This is the womb of everything here, because out of Him all living beings came about and in Him they will disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. [Brahman is that which] does not direct its power of discernment within; does not direct its power of discernment to the outside world; does not direct its power of discernment to both [i.e. the inside and outside world]; is nothing but discernment [without objects before it]; is neither discerning; nor not discerning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unseen; in relation to which one cannot perform any actions; not obtainable; without characteristics; inconceivable; inexpressible in language; in essence the cognition which is the one Self; the cessation of the outer world; peaceful; benevolent; non-dual; thus the [wise] conceptualise the fourth [part of the Self] to be. This is the [true part of the] Self that one should wish to get to know well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
