Turiyatita...

"Look closely and you will see that all names and forms are
but transitory waves on the ocean of consciousness, that
only consciousness can be said to be, not its
transformations.

In the immensity of consciousness a light
appears, a tiny point that moves rapidly and traces shapes,
thoughts and feelings, concepts and ideas, like the pen
writing on paper.

And the ink that leaves a trace is memory.

You are that tiny point, and by your movement the world is
ever re-created. Stop moving and there will be no world.

Look within and you will find that the point of light is the
reflection of the immensity of light in the body, as the
sense "I am".

There is only light, all else appears.

To the
mind, it [that light] appears as darkness.

It can be known
only through its reflections.

All is seen in daylight - except
daylight.

To be the point of light tracing the world is turiya.

To be the light itself is turiyatita.

But of what use are
names when reality is so near?"..
