A collection of teachings from Shiva Sutras.
Apparent knowledge vitiated by the illusions of mind is the cause of bondage of the Jiva in the physical world.
Apparent knowledge vitiated by the illusions of mind is the cause of bondage of the Jiva in the physical world.
The tremendous effort and energy required in the
manifestation of a universe comes from the Divine Will of Siva, the Universal
Consciousness, and appears initially through akasa as nada or integrated
‘Sound’ from which all forms of vibration and modes of motion in the realm of
manifestation are derived.
By contemplation on the Centre through which Divine Power
manifests the universe, (physical) consciousness reverts to its original pure
state, Pure Consciousness, and the universe as a separate mental phenomenon
disappears
Supreme Consciousness is the turiya (fourth) state of
consciousness beyond the three states of waking, dream and deep sleep. This
state is eternal and the other three states come and go in it. As the turiya
state alone exists and as the three preceding states merge into it and
disappear, the turiya state transcends itself and becomes the turiyatita. The
Self is the turiyatita, beyond the fourth, state of consciousness.
