In this book you will find the dialog between a yogi who has practiced mediation/yoga for 12 years and a an Advaita teacher.
This dialog describes the journey of the yogi reaching the turyia state which is called the 4th state.
Many interesting things in this book esp the relationship between self-inquiry and meditation.
The dialogues are fascinating because they give advancement of understanding in sort of real time. The yogi practiced Kriya yoga for some 12 yrs or so and then reached a saturation. Through the principles of Advaita and guidance under his new Guru he reaches the natural turiya state.
Even the sorry state of affairs of present Neo-advaita is perfectly addressed by the traditional Master Ed Muzika. Ed encourages the Yogi student to work hard towards the goal through intense meditation and self-inquiry. The student (Rajiv) makes tremendous progress by following his instructions.
