Sloka 32 Ulladu Narpadu - Part II / Ramana Maharshi / Indian Philosophy

English Translations:

1.     Truth  Revealed  / Grant Duff To those who enquire into the nature of the three states, waking, dreaming and sleep, there is the state of Turiya alone, which is beyond the three states. This is otherwise termed Jagrat sushupti (wakeful-sleep); there are (really speaking) no three states. Determine that state to be Turiyatita.

2.    The Forty on Existence Sadhu Arunachala (Major A.W.Chadwick)

He who is living in the threefold state Of waking, sleep and dreaming, calls that state Termed the ‘beyond’ or even ‘wakeful sleep’, The Fourth State. It alone is Real. In It The others come and go and so are naught. The Real is Absolute, transcending all.

Revelation / K. Lakshmana Sarma The peaceful and timeless State of the Sage, called Waking-Sleep, which to those that live in (the vicious circle of) waking, dream, and dreamless sleep, is termed the Fourth State, is alone real; the three are merely false appearances; therefore the Wise Ones call that State -- which is Pure Consciousness -- the State of transcendental Being.

Synopsis / Grant Duff For him Turiyateeta is identical with Turiya; and the other three states do not exist for him.
