Turiya is the condition of divine vision or Divya drishti. The Turiya of the Jiva (Jiva Turiya) is al¬ways with the Jiva and is never separated. It is con¬nected with Srut. For instance there is a villager. Somehow the Turiya of his Jiva condition gets awa¬kened. People would say that some evil spirit of the dead has caught hold of him, and they suppress that condition by beating and teasing him. The Jiva-Turiya is, however, with the Jiva only; but it has not returned with full knowledge. So, there he did not enter with full knowledge. There remained some defect in the condi¬tion of his merger and as such it proved harmful. Had he entered with full understanding or knowledge, the condition would have been altogether different. Every condition is found in every individual. In some it is suppressed and in some others it is awakened. All men live by it only. Children understand certain things so well that even the grown-ups cannot understand after much effort. Likewise, the divine vision is found to exist even in the unsophisticated village folk, men or women. In some it gets awakened with a little atten¬tion towards it, and in some others much effort and practice has to be done, even after which it is not easily attainable. The Awakening of this Jiva-Turiya is like Sushupti. Few people believe it. As the Brahma-Turiya also is within the cycle of Time (Kal-chakra), there will be fall after attaining it; and even after attain¬ing it, it will not remain permanently. But the Turiya of the fourth state is continuous in its flow. By gradual practice when the mind attains its form, there will be permanency in it without any possibility of return.
