MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL :5. (i)-2.




( i ).THE SUPREME SELF IN THE THREE AVASTHAS : 2



(Mandukya Upanishad, I-4).


"“Svapnasthano’ntahprajnah Saptanga Ekonavimsatimukhah Praviviktabhuk Taijaso Dvitiyah Padah—The second foot of Omkara is the Taijasa, whose region is dream, who has subjective consciousness, who has seven limbs and nineteen mouths and who enjoys subtle objects.”"



Taijasa is the reflected Chaitanya or consciousness associated with the dream state.

Taijasa is the enjoyer of the subtle world.

The subjective mind and false ego play in dreams.



(Mandukya Upanishad, I-5).

“"Yatra Supto Na Kanchana Kamam Kamayate Na Kanchana Svapnam Pasyati Tat Sushuptam Sushuptasthana Ekeebhutah Prajnanaghana Evanandamayo Hyanandabhuk Chetomukhah Prajnastritiyah Padah—."

"The third foot of Omkara is the Prajna, whose region is deep sleep, in whom all melt into one, who is a mass of knowledge, who is full of bliss, who enjoys bliss and who is the door (to the two states of consciousness—waking and dreaming). That is the state of deep sleep wherein the sleeper does not desire anything and does not see any dream."

The mind with the Vasanas rests in deep sleep in Mukhya Prana (chief vital air) in the heart.

Mukhya Prana means Brahmam.

All the Vrittis assume a Sukshma state.
