[Advaita-l] Waking and Dream States - II

[Pranipata]

Hari Om Shri Sadanandaji,  Pranaams!

Since mAndUkya is quoted, the bAShyA details bahiShprajnaH and antaHprajnaH 
as:

bahiShprajnaH:  svAtmavyatirikte viShaye prajnA yasya saH bahiShprajnaH. 
Viewing with other upaniShadic statements like parAk pashyati na antarAtman, 
Atma should refer to Self and not BMI, I feel.

antaHprajnaH: indriya-apekShayA antaH sthstvAt antaHprajnaH.

The reference point for externality in waking state is Self(pratyagAtman); 
for internality in dream state is indriyAs.

In Shri Guru Smriti,
Br. Pranipata Chaitanya

 From the point of the waking state, BMI (body, mind and intellect) it is 
called bahiprajnaH as the waking world is external to the waker’s mind; and 
the dream state is ‘antaH prajnaH’ internal to the waker’s mind. The 
reference point here is quite clear
