262. Om turyayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is in the state of turya, the fourth state.
"Turya is the state in which the experience known as suddhavidya is attained- the ultimate realization of the Atman...In turya, the jiva exists just as a witness....The supreme state of turya can only be described as a wonder. Yoginis consider only this state as real. The concept of turya is one that astonishes modern psychology. The modern intellect retreats from the effort after talking about the conscious, subconscious and unconscious mind, whereas thousands of years ago, the rsis of India declared the existence of the turya state which was attained by the yoginis."
Excerpts from "The Thousand Names of the Divine Mother"
I find such things very difficult to understand because I am not well read in the scriptures. The only thing I understand crystal clear is the love I have for Amma. I adore Her and at the same time, I am also scared of Her. I don't wish to displease Her in any way. Over the years Amma has taught me some valuable lessons and while initially I may resist the education, I realise Amma always does it only for my good. While waking on this path which we have chosen...of being Amma's children...we need to keep in mind that we have chosen God for our Mother. Now this all powerful God can watch us at all times. While our own biological Mother has an unbreakable bond with us, Amma's bond with us goes much more deeper on many levels. And Amma will do anything for our happiness while also ensuring that we stay on the straight and narrow path. She can be a strict disciplinarian. But we've aimed highest and chosen God for our Mother. Could there be a better choice?!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
