There is only one state, that of consciousness or awareness or existence. The three states of waking dream and sleep cannot be real. They simply come and go.They are only appearances. The real will always exist. – Ramana Maharshi

Neither sleep, nor the cognition of objects that men call wakefulness, is true knowledge. In the true state of awareness, which is different from sleep and wakefulness, there is no awareness of objects, but consciousness alone shines. That brilliance is not empty. – Ramana Maharshi
