Liberation while living (jīvanmukti) is indeed the state of *turya* (the fourth state of consciousness). From that (state), one reaches the state beyond *turya*. (Here,) the individual soul (jīva) is (revealed as) pure consciousness (bodha). This awakening (prabodha) is achieved through the diligent effort of the intellect.
