Adi Shankara ‘The dream state becomes unreal in the waking st | Spiritual Library

Adi Shankara

‘The dream state becomes unreal in the waking state, nor does the waking state exist in dream and sleep; both dream and waking state are absent in the deep-sleep state; sleep, too, is absent in waking and in dreams. Because of their mutual contradictions the three states are unreal; but the Self is the Eternal Witness of the three states and is thus beyond them; It is the one which is the nature of pure consciousness’.
