If we look closely at people’s lives around the world, we are able to classify them into four classes:
- Consumer class: It is about animal life in human form. Individuals identify with their physical body and the physical world. Due to the low level of Consciousness, theirs is a life of illusion.
- Doer Class: With a slightly better level of Consciousness, they are active, and have a sense of action. This is living in the dialect. It oscillates between pain and pleasure, etc.
- Observer class: They have a higher level of Consciousness and feel that things happen according to a certain cosmic plane and are simply witnesses of all phenomena. Gradually the mind comes out of all illusions and a state of happiness is established in the mind. All fear disappears.
- Super-Conscious Class: When the highest level of Consciousness is reached, the awareness that “things happen according to the Cosmic plane” also weakens. Everything flows like the flow of the river to the ocean. This is called “Liberation”.
Meditation is a way, through certain practices, to move from the lower state of Consciousness to the highest level and to the state of Super-Consciousness.
This is called “Sahaj” or “The Most Natural State of Living”. Remember: Meditation is not a task to be performed, but a mental state to be achieved.
