Supreme Self

The 4th state of mind is to be as the supreme self wherein all the other three state dissolve. In Mandukyopanishad describes" It cannot be internal consciousness or external consciousness or both. It is not a mass consciousness. It cannot be seen, cannot be used for worldly transactions, cannot be grasped. It has no attributes, nor conceived by the mind and has no name. The essence of the one Self where the entire world is dissolved. It is all asupiciousness, all peace all pervading, and non dual. This is the Absolute Self.

Lord Siva, Parameswara desribes " Iam not the body, blood, flesh or bones, nor I am the subtle body, consists of eight categories of things:
1. The five senses of action.
2. The five senses of perception (eyes, ears, nose etc
3. The pancha pranas
4 The 5 elements like space
5. Mind, intellect, Chitta and Ahamkara(ego)
6. Avidya (Nescience or ignorance of his own nature
7. Desire
8. Latent Karmas ( results( fruits of previous actions.

Namaskar, Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
