In Sushupti your Atma alone remains and It experiences happiness by Itself. Where is there an ignorant man who does not have the knowledge of Sushupti. Women, men, boys, children, treasure, dance, food and drink, every thing is present but the person says he has no interest. If you tell I will sleep for a while. Why is this? because this has relatively more happiness in it than others. If there were to be no happiness, there would not have been a desire for this condition, leaving every thing. What proof is required more than this, but the people may ask whether a sleeping person can give evidence himself about this happiness? We say that, “yes”. When a man getting up after sleep says that “Ah what a nice sleep I had.” This is a proof that he is fortunate to have happiness. But what is there to give him happiness, there was nothing there to give him pleasure and comfort. But happiness is proved. This proves that there was no other thing than himself, which gave him happiness. The nature of your Atma is happiness and every thing is in It and from It. If you understand against that you show the knowledge of any other thing with your existence, in Sushupti. Knowledge of which other as there is only one Atma there, Atma was and heart is certain of enjoyment by Atma.
These are the conditions of waking, dreaming and deep sleep and three results have been obtained from those three. 1. In the waking state Atma alone takes happiness and is separate from Indriyas. 2. It is a wonder that Atma alone creates things of happiness in dream state, merely by Its thought. 3. In deep sleep state Atma alone is the nature/form of happiness and is the happiness. The question was where is the happiness and the answer given was that the happiness is in yourself and in your Atma and you are your self the form of happiness.
The relation of human being in this body is by means of the flow of Atman in the waking state only. Because if any body is sorrowful due to disease, injury and worry; the state of worry vanishes, pain and sorrow will come to an end when he goes to sleep. When the sleep is broken the echoes of sorrow will be audible. One more result can be obtained from this that the place of Atma was some where else during the waking state and this is a very important and essential matter which has to be impressed on the minds of the followers of the method.
I have narrated only three conditions above. But Sant and Param Sant have narrated other conditions also and one of them is Turiya. It is called by Sufis as Alamey Lahoot. Atma becomes clean and devoid of Mal and Vikshep by going through these conditions. This is called Turiya and the fourth step of Gyani’s starts from this. If any person gets this condition during life time so that he can get inside the body in his spiritual condition any time by his will, the happiness he gets fortunately can not be compared with any worldly thing.
