HanumAna / हनुमान

HanumAna / हनुमान -1

बाल समय रवि भक्ष लियो तब तीनहुँ लोक भयो अँधियारो...

baala-samay ravi bhakSha liyo taba teenahun loka bhayo andhiyAro ... Meaning : When the Consciousness / PrANa stirs (the primal / infant-consciousness) that is HanumAna The Monkey-God, it covers-up the the Sun / 'Self', and when it releases the same, whole existence comes to peace / relief. This explains the Truth of HanumAna at three levels > Spiritual, Cosmic and individual. The Spiritual is AdhyAtmika, The Cosmic / Celestial is of the Kingdom of 'DevatA' and the Individual is the person. HanumAna is thus a perfect way to Lord Shri Rama, Who is not different from Lord Shiva or 'Self', The Supreme Being.
This is the 'consciousness' of man. Average man is but monkey-mind with a body of human kind. HanumAna is JnAnI and When He was just a child of a day, He took The rising sun for some sweet fruit, and jumped to grab and gobble it. And the whole existence was lost into darkness. Then Celestial beings prayed Him to release the sun, and again the peace prevailed everywhere.

MandUkya Upanishad categorically narrates this process / explains this.
The three loka ( spheres of existence) are JAgrit (waking states when senses recognize a material world) , swapna (When senses recognize a subtle psychic world), suShupti Deepa dreamless sleep, when senses recognize the pure sense of contentedness, peace.
The primal consciousness that stirs when one is born keeps going through these 3 states / spheres.
Again, There is yet another set of 3 spheres namely, 'the individual', the collective mind / Cosmic / Celestial of Gods and demons  'spirits' and The Spiritual / Pure Being / Consciousness only.
The primal consciousness thus identifies with 3 states of individual existence but that is only formal truth. When Primal Consciousness returns to the source from where it originally emerged, it ultimately reaches the Supreme / Spiritual.
_/\_
mAnDUkya-upaniShad माण्डूक्य उपनिषद्  suggests that attention should be withdrawn from the material world and should go through psychic world to Spiritual. 'अ' waking state should merge into dream state 'उ' and dream state into deep sleep state 'म'  while 'self-remembrance' continues. Beyond these 3 states is तुरीय / Transcendental.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj also pointed out the same.
Let the conscious level  of mind should merge into sub-conscious, and the sub-conscious into unconscious. When self-remembrance continues, it crosses the field of un-conscious and eventually touches / attains the state of pure being.
I AM THAT :
Q. :How to go beyond unconscious?)

The same process is taught in Gita also.
