	'''Avasthā''' (devanāgarī: अवस्था) is a Sanskrit word that means "state," and it is frequently applied to the three (o four) states of consciousness described in [[Hinduism]] known as ''jāgrat'' (waking state), ''svapna'' (dreaming state) and ''suṣupti'' (deep sleep state). A fourth state of consciousness is ''turīya'' (literally, "the fourth"), which is normally regarded as a spiritual state of pure consciousness.		#redirect [[Avastha]]

	~~== Jagrat ==~~

	~~In Indian philosophy ''jāgrat'' is the waking state of consciousness, with external, sensual, experience. In this state the same universe with its laws is presented to all.~~

	~~[[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky\|H. P. Blavatsky]] defined it as follows:~~

	<blockquote>Jagrata (Sk.). The waking state of consciousness. When mentioned in [[Yoga]] philosophy, Jagrata-avastha is the waking condition, one of the four states of [[Praṇava\|Pranava]] in ascetic practices, as used by the Yogis.<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Theosophical Glossary'' (Krotona, CA: Theosophical Publishing House, 1973), 162.</ref></blockquote>

	~~== Svapna ==~~

	~~In Indian philosophy ''svapna'' is the dreaming state of consciousness, with internal mental experience, where everyone fashions his or her own world.~~

	~~[[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky\|H. P. Blavatsky]] defined it as follows:~~

	<blockquote>Svapna (Sk). A trance or dreamy condition. [[Clairvoyance]].<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Theosophical Glossary'' (Krotona, CA: Theosophical Publishing House, 1973), 314.</ref></blockquote>

	<blockquote>Svapna Avasthâ (Sk.). A dreaming state; one of the four aspects of [[Praṇava\|Prânava]]; a [[Yoga]] practice.<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Theosophical Glossary'' (Krotona, CA: Theosophical Publishing House, 1973), 314.</ref></blockquote>

	~~== Sushupti ==~~

	~~In Indian philosophy ''suṣupti'' is the dreamless state of deep sleep, where there are no objects of which to be conscious.~~

	~~[[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky\|H. P. Blavatsky]] defined it as follows:~~

	<blockquote>Sushupti Avasthâ (Sk.). Deep sleep; one of the four aspects of Prânava.<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Theosophical Glossary'' (Krotona, CA: Theosophical Publishing House, 1973), 314.</ref></blockquote>

	<blockquote>The Sushupti, or causal state [is] produced by, and through Karanopadhi, or what we call Buddhi.<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''Collected Writings'' vol. VII (Wheaton, IL: Theosophical Publishing House, 1987), 289.</ref></blockquote>

	~~== Turiya ==~~

	~~In Indian philosophy ''turīya'' is a state where there is union with Brahman.~~

	~~[[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky\|H. P. Blavatsky]] defined it as follows:~~

	<blockquote>Turîya (Sk.). A state of the deepest trance—the fourth state of the Târaka Râja Yoga, one that corresponds with [[Ātman\|Âtmâ]], and on this earth with dreamless sleep—a causal condition.<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Theosophical Glossary'' (Krotona, CA: Theosophical Publishing House, 1973), 345.</ref></blockquote>

	<blockquote>Turîya Avasthâ (Sk.). Almost a [[Nirvāṇa\|Nirvânic]] state in [[Meditation#Samādhi\|Samâdhi]], which is itself a beatific state of the contemplative [[Yoga]] beyond this plane. A condition of the [[Triad#Human_triad\|higher Triad]], quite distinct (though still inseparable) from the conditions of Jagrat (waking), Svapna (dreaming), and Sushupti (sleeping).<ref>Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, ''The Theosophical Glossary'' (Krotona, CA: Theosophical Publishing House, 1973), 345-346.</ref></blockquote>
