Dreaming misapprehends reality. Sleeping doesn't apprehend reality at all. When these two errors disappear, Turiya is realized.
Asleep in beginningless maya, the individual awakens into birthless, sleepless, dreamless realization of the nondual.
And there’s no doubt the world would disappear if it actually existed. But duality is nothing but Maya and nondual in reality.
Concepts are to be abandoned when imagined for the sake of teaching. This talk of duality stops upon realization.
