मन आदिचतुर्दशकरणैः
पुष्कलैरादित्याद्यनुगृहीतैः शब्दादीन्विषयान्-
स्थूलान्यदोपलभते तदात्मनो जागरणम्।
तद्वासनासहितैश्चतुर्दशकरणैः
शब्दाद्यभावेऽपि वासनामयाञ्छब्दादीन्यदोपलभते
तदात्मनः स्वप्नम्।
~ सर्वसार उपनिषद्, श्लोक ४
Do you understand this high sanskrit? No|What about to worry when I am here. Let’s started.
Upanishads are one of the most informative texts . It is also known as the essence of vedas.
You may be wonder that what silly question is this? Wakening and sleeping. But there is very deep information behind it.
According to our ancient texts we have 10 indriyas(Senses) 5 karmendriyan (Mouth, anus, legs, hands and sex part. And 5 Gyanendriyan (skin, eyes, tongue, ears and nose) and there are chatushtay, the four which are inside the body (mind, brain, psyche and ego). In Jagratavastha all these 10 senses are and 4 are awakened means, suppose you see something, which produce sound, you also touch it. So with the help of all senses, they sense the thing and send it to the inner body where you know the four are situated. First of these our chitta(psyche) make it a smrati(memory) and then with the help of these memory our mind creates imagination and by imagination we feel something or experience something. This is Jagratavastha or wakening when all or physical body and emotional body co-operate each other and by which we experience something.
The second is Swapnavastha (Dreaming state) where our all senses are not awakened. Suppose you are addicted with video games. And for two days your mother do not give you the mobile phone. There is a strict rule for you. Then your ahankar (ego) says that OK, if you ( the video gamer) do not give me the experience of video game(which gave me joy) then I will find an another way to grasp this experience which is in sleeping process. First of all you should understand that when you play video game the images, the experiences, and the all the imaginations related to video games are recorded in the mind already. So during sleeping, our ego sends a signal to the brain that it wants that experience again, no matter how to be, at any cost it wants so our mind thinks that what should done because there is no source for video game as you do not play it. So it finds a solution for that. With the help of all these factors, the memory, the photos, the imagination it created a itself imagination and experience which you feel at playing physically. This is known as Swapnavastha and that’s the reason why you should feel like the physical world in dreaming.
You see that there is a great information hidden behind every shloka of upanishads.
It is the time to tell you the truth. Please do not be angry 😝🙏. That this shloka which is given above is incomplete. The full shloka is-
मन आदिचतुर्दशकरणैः
पुष्कलैरादित्याद्यनुगृहीतैः शब्दादीन्विषयान्-
स्थूलान्यदोपलभते तदात्मनो जागरणम्।
तद्वासनासहितैश्चतुर्दशकरणैः
शब्दाद्यभावेऽपि वासनामयाञ्छब्दादीन्यदोपलभते
तदात्मनः स्वप्नम्।
चतुर्दशकरणो परमाद्विशेषविज्ञानाभावाद्यदा
शब्दादीन्नोपलभते तदात्मनः सुषुप्तम्।
अवस्थात्रयभावाभावसाक्षी स्वयंभावरहितं
नैरन्तर्यं चैतन्यं यदा तदा तुरीयं चैतन्यमित्युच्यते। ॥४॥
There are two more dimensions beyond these named Sushupti and Turiya which I am not able to describe in words unfortunately. I know about these but it won’t. Most sorry. If I find appropriate words then definitely I will make a new blog for this. This would even heavier, Right, 😂.
