*POINTS TO PONDER* - 'RAMANA MAHARSHI': In the Transcendental state , identity with Brahman places the man in harmony with everything, and there is nothing apart from his Self.

Someone inquired about the nature of perception.


M.: Whatever state one is in, the perceptions partake of that state.
The explanation is that in the waking state (jagrat) the gross body
perceives gross names and forms; in swapna (the dream state) the mental body perceives the mental creations in their manifold forms and names; in the sushupti (deep dreamless sleep), the identification with the body being lost, there are no perceptions; similarly in the Transcendental state , identity with Brahman places the man in harmony with everything, and there is nothing apart from his Self.
