136. But, because the Self being self-luminous con-
sciousness is always shining, how can there be any
distinctions between the state of waking, dreaming
and deep sleep? It is not proper to say that such
distinction is only illusory, because, in that case, every-
thing would be a dream. The answer to this objection
is that though, properly by their characteristics, all
three states are dream only, there can be apparent
distinctions caused by ignorance because it is neither
existent nor nonexistent. In reality there is no distin-
ction. The Acārya tells us thus :
 
There is no waking state for me, nor dream, nor sleep,
Not the viswa, not taijasa, not the prājna,
Because all these are essentially ignorance,
 
I am the fourth, with reference to these three ;
I am the one, the residue, Siva, the absolute.
