Introduction
This meditation session revolves around a profound philosophical inquiry into the nature of reality, time, and consciousness. Based on verses attributed to the sage Nik, it goes beyond conventional frameworks such as morality, cause and effect, and the pairs of opposites (joy/sorrow, life/death). The teaching points toward a higher, timeless reality referred to as the “fourth state” (T) — an uncaused, self-existent truth that transcends creation, destruction, and dualities. Unlike the temporal world governed by karma, time, and opposites, this eternal Self (Atma) is pure consciousness, witnessing all phenomena without being affected. Through meditation, practitioners are guided to transcend mind and senses, awakening to the realization of the Atma as the divine spark within — timeless, omniscient, and omnipotent.

- Eternal reality is beyond past, present, and future.
Dualities as Illusions

- Beyond duality lies a singular, undivided truth.
The Fourth State (T)
