Jagrat - The Waking State
Jagrat (waking state) — the field of outward awareness in which consciousness identifies with the body and perceives the gross world. In Vedanta, jagrat is mithya — a lawful projection within consciousness, no more real than dream, illumined by the same changeless witness.


Vishva - The Waker
Vishva is the jiva as the waker, identified with the body and senses in waking life. It is the microcosmic counterpart of Virat, the cosmic gross body.
