What is called a state? What is it called? Happiness and misery. Experiencing the feeling of happiness and misery is called a state. Experiencing the feeling of happiness and misery. So, there are three states of it. One is the feeling of happiness and misery in the waking state, one is the feeling of happiness and misery even in the dream state, and even in deep sleep. Even in deep sleep. Suppose we sleep for about five hours and do not feel refreshed, if we sleep more, on the contrary, what is the opposite of refreshed? One gets disturbed. If we sleep more, does it not happen like that? Our target is to become more refreshed, but instead, we get more disturbed. Sometimes, the target is not to get refreshed, but the target is to escape. Like, if we are about to go somewhere in the village, we just sleep. So, the target is not to get refreshed, but to escape from this. Now, what is called the waking state? So read, brother, the waking state. This jivatma, residing in whichever state, experiences the sensual pleasures, we call that a state. Those states are waking, dream, Maharaj's target is that there is not much significance in knowing the states, but to transcend the states. To us, Maharaj has commanded in the Shikshapatri itself, 'Nijatmanam brahmarupam', then? 'Dehatrayavilakshanam' 'Vibhavya tena kartavya bhaktih krishnasya sarvada'. To perform seva, to perform bhakti bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti: Tap to open in glossary → that should be done by transcending the three bodies, three gunas, and three states. By transcending them. By suppressing them, by suppressing them. The denial of states never happens. One of the three is bound to be there. Either one is asleep, or in a dream, or awake. The three states are bound to be there. So, no one can remove the states. No one can remove the three gunas. No one can remove the three bodies. One has to work while remaining with them. If you are aware, then they remain under you. And if you are not aware, then you remain under them. This is the only difference, nothing else. Its use has to be made even if one is under them, and also if they are under us. One cannot go anywhere leaving the states. One cannot go anywhere leaving the three bodies. The three gunas, can we remove the three gunas from within us? Nothing like that happens. Those three gunas are bound to remain. The difference is only whether you are above those three or have they mounted upon you? State means favorability and unfavorability, has it mounted upon us? Or are we mounted upon favorability and unfavorability? Only this, this much is the purpose. The purpose of the three states is only this, that who is mounted upon whom. If one conquers happiness and misery, then he has transcended the three states, three gunas, and three bodies. All are conquered. All are conquered. Transcending happiness and misery means the fruit of these three bodies is also that, and the fruit of the three states and three gunas is also this. Nothing else, the fruit of all, again, the fruit of all those nine of the three is only happiness and misery. Nothing else. I am happy and I am miserable. I am happy and I am miserable. But based on what? That decision is very important. I am happy, so did I become happy because some work of God was done? Or did I become happy because some selfish motive of mine was fulfilled? Did I become happy because what I wished happened? Or did I become happy because God's work was done, or the Sadhu became pleased, or God became pleased? This is the only difference. Happiness and misery are also never going to go away. One keeps falsifying worldly happiness and misery. And those happiness and misery are never going to go away, with which you associated. And if he becomes miserable? Then we are going to become miserable. So, God does not guarantee that by associating with God, with God, one will not experience happiness and misery. There is no such guarantee in bhakti bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti: Tap to open in glossary → In jnan, there is such a guarantee that he does not become happy or miserable. If one becomes a devotee, there is no such guarantee that he will not become happy or miserable. He becomes happy and miserable. And sometimes God even makes him happy and miserable thoroughly. But if he wants to continue bhakti bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti: Tap to open in glossary → then he has to make preparation that whatever comes is acceptable. Whatever comes from God is acceptable. Whatever comes while doing God's work is acceptable. Whatever comes in pleasing God is acceptable. He should have such prior preparation. Just as there is prejudice, there is also prior preparation. He makes prior preparation. Prejudice is also a kind of preparation itself. That this should not be allowed to happen. That is negative, and prior preparation is positive. Those states are of three types: waking, dream, and deep sleep. Among them, the waking state is the function of the state of existence of Vairaj Purush Purush 1) An akshar-mukta selected by Akshar-Brahm to ‘impregnate’ Prakruti for the creation process, from which countless pairs of Pradhãn and Purush are formed for the creation and sustenance of each brahmãnd. 2) Purush half of the Pradhãn-Purush pair, ‘conceived’ by Mul-Purush and Mul-Prakruti for the creation and sustenance of each brahmãnd. 3) Taken to be masculine in nature, Purush is the controller of Prakruti, and is also distinct from her. He is indivisible, without a beginning, and without an end. He is self-luminous, omniscient, imperishable, satya, kshetragna, and the cause of all the activities that possess a form. He also has a divya body. 4) Also called Mahã-Purush, Mul-Purush or Akshar- Purush.

If I close my eyes and listen very attentively with my ears, then am I called awake or asleep? Awake only. If I am checking properly like this as to what this is, then is it called waking or dream? So, in the forefront of all the senses, the vrutti vrutti Concentration. Focus. The jeev’s vrutti can be thought of as the jeev’s focus of attention. The jeev can experience the physical world (Virãt-Purush) through the indriyas. Similarly the jeev can think about, or have a desire about the world through the antah-karans. When the jeev’s attention is focused on a physical object through the indriyas, it can be said that the vruttis of the indriyas are focused on that object.

The reason is that all, all of that resource has to be sent there, so those have to be closed. All resources have to be gathered at one place. All of his energy merges into one sense. Then it is called the waking state.

Vishvabhimani means the objects of the world, whether they are proper or not. That is, according to the scriptures and according to dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → whether they are proper or not. I am seeing, so is there no prohibition of the scriptures for me, right? And am I seeing properly, right? Am I seeing green as yellow or not? It is not like that, right? And so, all kinds of discrimination gather together and when one is experiencing the sensual pleasures. Discrimination is of two types: one is scriptural prohibition and command. And secondly, whether the objects of the senses are proper or not. Many times, if one has jaundice, it is white but appears yellow. Then, if I am seeing, if I am seeing according to the scriptures, then? Even then, it cannot be called proper and accurate. So, it is said like that, what is said? Vishvabhimani. Vishvabhimani jivatma. Vishvabhimani, meaning one has become aware of the world as well. Not just that we believe in our own home that whatever we do is proper. Did we match it with the scriptures or not? Does it match with the world or not? In the world means? Great personages. Gentlemen. Does it match with gentlemen? In the world does not mean we have to go to everyone else to get proof, but do gentlemen say it is proper or not? Gentlemen means, it means that they might be zero in the path of God, and yet they are gentlemen. They should validate that this is proper. They should be gentlemen. Gentlemen should feel in their mind that what they are doing is not proper. What they are seeing is not proper, what they are hearing is not proper. So, it is said that such a jivatma is Vishvabhimani. And with discrimination, discrimination means scriptural discrimination. This is prohibited like this, he is aware that he should not do this. While seeing, he is aware that I should not do this, I should do this, I must do this. Along with that awareness of his. Many times, a very, say, awake person like Arjun was there, yet he was not aware whether I should do this or I should not do this. Shri Krishna Krishna 1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn.
