Beyond Sleep and Dream – Divine Contemplation | தூக்கத்திற்கும் கனவிற்கும் அப்பால் - இறை சிந்தனை

The state that transcends the two states of dream and deep sleep is divine contemplation. The all-powerful Supreme Being is present everywhere, in everything, and always. That alone is the true essence. That is why it is called Paramporul (the Supreme Reality). It is the ultimate truth, and hence it is referred to as Mei Porul (the True Reality). We worship that mei porul that is above everything and beyond all. That is what we call God. So, when we worship or think about God, we are in that divine contemplation state. 

The mind becomes whatever it thinks about. When the mind constantly thinks about worldly matters, it keeps experiencing the pleasures and sorrows that come from them. There is an inner state that goes beyond all pleasure and pain. 

The form or force that drives all worldly objects is the ultimate reality — that is God. It is that which moves the world we call nature, and it is also what drives all living beings that emerged from nature, from one-sense organisms to six-sense human beings. The cosmic elements (Anda Saraksharangal) are also moved by that power. In human beings it is the same power that operates the body, mind, and intellect and it exists as the soul.

The soul is a conscious entity. Like worldly objects, the soul is a conscious entity/ entity with awareness. Perceiving that awareness is knowledge. That awareness is the Supreme consciousness or God. Similar to the sense of sight in the eyes, sense of smell in the nose, sense of hearing in the ears, sense of taste in the tongue, sense of touch in the skin; The soul’s awareness is at the center of the forehead(third eye chakra) and at the Sahasrara(crown chakra), where the true consciousness resides and that is where we contemplate on the Divine.
