tamoṃkāreṇa paśyatyātmānaṃ turīyaṃ padam |
Paraphrase of Maitri Upaniṣad 6.24
"Through OM, one sees the Self in the fourth state (turiya)."
What This Means:
OM leads to the fourth state of consciousness - beyond waking, dream, and sleep - where the Self is realized.
Going Deeper:
Turiya is not really a "state" but the consciousness that underlies and pervades all three states.
How To Apply This:
Let OM take you beyond all states to the ever-present awareness that witnesses them all.
