Songs of Tayumanavar

Wreath: When is the Day to be?
[9] Nature of Reality (3/19)

When is the day to be
That rid of Egoity
I see by my Awareness
The State beyond the five States (1) (Avastas)


FootNotes:

[1] Waking (Jagra); Dreaming (Svapna); Deep Sleep (Susupti); Turiya (The Fourth); Turiyatita (The Beyond-Fourth). Turiya is called the Fourth State, because the common man knows of only the first three; In Turiyatita State, the subject-object differentiation is transcended. Everything is Siva.
