The three states are witnessed by one and only formless witness.***



When the self is in its formless non dual true nature  which is identified as deep sleep  than the whole Waking  or dream   ceases, and it is in its undisturbed  peaceful non dual true nature , till it wakes up again and resume experiencing the restless and peace less Waking  or dream. 

Life within the waking or dream is filled with either pain or pleasure. There is no permanence thus one is most of the time restless and miserable. Thus duality is the cause of restlessness misery. Absent of duality absent of restlessness and misery.

When the seeker  confines the self only to the physical body, causes a sense of duality, within the waking or dream. The fact is that, the ‘I’ is not limited to the physical body, but ‘I’ is the entire experience of the Waking or dream which contains physical body and the world. 

Therefore, ‘I’ is not only the physical body, but ‘I’ is the whole experience of Waking or dream. This cycle of waking, dream and deep sleep is the cycle of birth, life and death . Tracing to find the formless knower or the witness of the three states is  the goal of the pursuit of truth. 

The yogi and mystics they are based on the conceptual religion, conceptual gods and scriptural authority which are based on the ‘I’ which is false self. People too are not aware of the fact, they do not think beyond the experience of the three states. Therefore, it is very much necessary to verify the facts before proceeding in pursuit of truth, to know whether self is physical body (waking entity) or the self is  formless soul. 

What is it that witnesses the dreams without the physical body?  If the dream is witnessed without the physical body (waking entity or ego)  then what is it that is aware which is not the physical body.   Therefore, there must be a formless witness of the dream.   This formless witness is the same witness that that witnesses the waking and deep sleep. Therefore, the three states are witnessed by one and only formless witness.  

The three states merge into the mental state, in the sense that when it is analyzed, it is found to exist inseparably in and as the mind alone. All "spiritual" planes are mental: people who regard them as reality are deceiving themselves.
