In this video, Sri M talks about what we are seeking, through a brief discourse on Mandukya Upanishad. He talks about the 3 states common to all human beings - waking state, dream state and deep sleeps. He goes on to explain the 4th state called Turiya, why it is not commonly experienced by all, how to experience turiya and how the practice of Kriya Yoga is linked to this.
This Satsang took place in The Peepal Grove School in Dec 2024.
