See the difference between samadhi and sleep. While in samadhi we have a consciousness of harmony, in sleep there is an unconsciousness of disharmony. Quite different and opposite they are, though they look alike. The difference is as between the joy of a wise man and the joy of a fool. Both are happy people. A stupid idiot is happy and a genius also is happy, but the difference is very obvious. The negative condition into which we enter in sleep is a defeatist position of consciousness where it has struggled but failed in its attempt. So the Upanishad tells us all these three states are phenomenal. They are states to be traversed through, transcended, and the real nature of consciousness cannot be recognised or seen in waking, dream or sleep. Sleep is, actually speaking, the mischief maker. The real ringleader we will find in the deep sleep state. The potentiality for suffering is there in a covered form even in the state of deep sleep, like a tree existing in a seed, and it will sprout up into activities, into actual pain and pleasure experiences, when we have the dream and the waking conditions.
So the three states – waking, dream and sleep – are only temporal efforts at the bringing about of a cessation of disharmony between consciousness and objects, now struggling, now turning back, and then completely forgetting the trouble itself by exhaustion. It is like a warrior going to the battlefront, fighting, getting tired and dreaming of the battle in his home, having returned from the battlefield unable to conquer the enemy, and then unable to even bear this suffering, going to sleep as if everything is okay, but waking again only to realise the fact that the battle is going on and he has yet to face it. The whole of the samsara chakra, the cycle of births and deaths, pains and joys of life, is a series, a circular movement, as it were, of the effort of consciousness to free itself completely from the clutches of objective confrontation. So we are no better whether we are in waking, dream or sleep. We are equally fools in all three states.
The freedom of the soul is in its fourth state of consciousness, called turiya. This fourth state of consciousness is not really a fourth mathematically or arithmetically. It is fourth in the sense that it is not any one of the three mentioned already. It is universal consciousness, and therefore, we cannot call it the fourth. But because it is not any of these three, we categorise it as the fourth one, turiya, for our own convenience. In the waking condition we are externally conscious, in the dream condition internally consciousness, in the sleeping condition absolutely unconscious, and in the turiya we are super-conscious. External consciousness, internal consciousness, unconsciousness and super-consciousness are the states through which we have to pass.
