Does the Mandukya Upanishad say anything about what happens to consciousness when one undergoes general anesthesia?

1. Om!—This syllable is this whole world.
Its further explanation is:—
The past, the present, the future—everything is just the word Om.
And whatever else that transcends threefold time—that, too, is
just the word Om.
2. For truly, everything here is Brahman; this self is Brahman. This
same self has four fourths.
3. The waking state, outwardly cognitive, having seven limbs,
having nineteen mouths, enjoying the gross, the Common-to-
all-men, is the first fourth.
4. The dreaming state, inwardly cognitive, having seven limbs,
having nineteen mouths, enjoying the exquisite, the Brilliant,
is the second fourth.
5. If one asleep desires no desire whatsoever, sees no dream what
soever, that is deep sleep.
The deep-sleep state, unified, just a cognition-mass, consisting
of bliss, enjoying bliss, whose mouth is thought, the cognitional,
is the third fourth.
6. This is the lord of all. This is the all-knowing. This is the inner
controller. This is the source of all, for this is the origin and
the end of beings.
7. Not inwardly cognitive, not outwardly cognitive, not both-wise
cognitive, not a cognition-mass, not cognitive, not non-
cognitive, unseen, with which there can be no dealing, un-
graspable, having no distinctive mark, non-thinkable, that
cannot be designated, the essence of the assurance of which is
the state of being one with the Self, the cessation of develop
ment, tranquil, benign, without a second (a-dvaita)—[such]
they think is the fourth. He is the Self. He should be discerned.
8. This is the Self with regard to the word Om, with regard to its
elements. The elements are the fourths; the fourths, the
elements: the letter a, the letter «, the letter m.1
9. The waking state, the Common-to-all-men, is the letter a, the first
element, from apti (obtaining) or from adimatvd (being first).
He obtains, verily, indeed, all desires, he becomes first—he who
knows this.
10. The sleeping state, the brilliant, is the letter u, the second
element, from utkarsa (exaltation) or from ubhayatva (inter
mediateness).
He exalts, verily, indeed, the continuity of knowledge; and he
becomes equal; no one ignorant of Brahman is bom in the
family of him who knows this.
11. The deep-sleep state, the cognitional, is the letter m, the third
element, from miti (“erecting’) or from apiti (“immerging”).
He, verily, indeed, erects (minoti) this whole world, and he
becomes its immerging—he who knows this.
12. The fourth is without an element, with which there can be no
dealing, the cessation of development, benign, without a second.
Thus Om is the Self (Atman) indeed.
He who knows this, with his self enters the Self—yea, he who
knows this!

Nietzsche once claimed that when it comes to philosophical talent, India is first, and England is last (worst). He also claimed that Europe has not yet reached the level of spirituality that India had reached thousands of years ago.

/lit/ likes to talk about the Bible a lot, it's become almost a meme, we all seem to agree Bible is a source of wisdom.

But comparing the ancient Indian Indo-European civilization with the Jewish one, to see the spiritual level they were at.

Deuteronomy was written in 7th century BC (according to scholars). It has stuff like:

>You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud. However, of those that chew the cud or that have a split hoof completely divided you may not eat the camel, the rabbit, or the coney.

A veritable pearl of wisdom.

TWO CENTURIES before that in the 9th century BC, the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad had already been composed. Sample from the text:

>"That (Brahman) is infinite, and this (universe) is infinite. the infinite proceeds from the infinite.
>(Then) taking the infinitude of the infinite (universe), it remains as the infinite (Brahman) alone."

One text deals with stuff like what you can eat and where you can put your penis, the absolute retardation probably due to excessive exposure to sun of the desert man can be felt on every page of the Bible.

On the other hand, the Indian text of the time show a philosophical depth of a Kant or a Hegel. Schopenhauer said that the re-discovery of the Upanishads by Europe is comparable to the rediscovery of ancient Greek materials in the Renaissance. He said it's by far the most profound material he's ever read.

Question: Why do we still waste so much time & energy with Desert Trilogy when our own, Indo-European heritage, is so much more richer and profound?

Does any anons on /lit/ know Sanskrit? What is your experience with it? How should one go about it?

How does one need to understand the illusory nature of Maya, inevitably of Brahman? Anons here have used an image of Brahman as ''observer'' of Maya, but not necessarily partaker in it, as the produced foam on the sea, different, yet same - how is this to be resolved? How can Maya be, yet not be?

I felt it. I was it. My spirit became one with all, just for one second of light. Is there more to know?

Serenity for all anons who see this post.

Genesis was written in 7th century BC (according to scholars). It has stuff like:

>In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
