VARJA / DORJE is a symbol for enlightened wakefulness; indestructible, unconditioned, firm and stable - as a diamond. It is also a symbol for the divine weapon of the thunderbolt, providing clarity in every situation - bringing a mirror-like wisdom to the moment and the nature of the mind. It brings a clarity without reactivity or judgement, and without being altered by what it reflects. It helps us drop our struggles and rest back into the wisdom that is already present. It helps us hold space for everything coming our way, as well as helps us see through the illusion and our conditioned patterns.
AUM is a sanskrit symbol (aka OM) with profound meaning. It points to the sacred sound of the universe - and/as it represents the four 'states' of the atman, the alternating levels of relative consciousness. A is the waking state, U is the dream state, M is the deep sleep state. The Silence that follows (and in which the AUM takes place) is the fourth 'state' (Turiya avastha, or Turiyatita, as Ramana Maharshi often referred to it), that holds all other states. This fourth 'state' is the underlying reality that always is. While the previous three states come and go, the Absolute/Consciousness/Awareness remains. In short, AUM describes the different forms of Brahman/Existence; the alternating expressions of consciousness. It points toward the three ever-changing states and the fourth, the all-encompassing Existence, which holds it all. It is inviting recognition, remembering this Truth. Turiyatita means 'transcending the fourth' and points us to the fact that there are not really four states, but only one real transcendental state/supreme reality. The jnani (one who has realized the Self) is established in Turiya and detachedly witnesses the three other states (walking, dreaming and dreamless sleep) as pictures superimposed on it. The message is: stay as the witness.
