Acharya Prashant explains that for a person identified with fragmented consciousness, the states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep appear distinct, much like different rooms within a house. However, from the perspective of a saint who stands outside these boundaries, these states are essentially the same because they all represent a state of bondage. He clarifies that what common people call 'waking up' is merely moving from one room of the house to another, such as from the bedroom to the drawing room, whereas true awakening means breaking free from the four walls of the house entirely. He further elaborates that even death does not provide liberation, as it is likened to moving into the lawn of the same house; it remains within the boundaries of the dream. The speaker asserts that the daily waking state is just an extension of the dream state, often characterized by ignorance and arrogance. True freedom is not achieved by simple biological triggers like an alarm bell, but by recognizing that the entire worldly existence, including life and death, is a 'palace of dreams.' Regarding the brief interval between dreaming and waking, Acharya Prashant warns against misinterpreting it as a state of liberation or 'Turiya.' He explains that while the world is an imperfect prison with small 'cracks' or glimpses of freedom, these moments should serve as motivation for total liberation. He concludes that moments of true motivation are those that point toward freedom, where one cannot clearly categorize their state as waking, dreaming, or sleeping, as they have encountered something beyond their normal experience.
