जागरणस्वप्नजुषो जगतीतलतिनः सदा लोकाः ।
तत्त्वविदो लयमग्ना नो जाग्रति शेरते नापि ॥४८॥ Meaning : People of this world are constantly seen as either awake or in dreams; but the enlightened sages, absorbed in deep meditation, neither sleep nor remain awake (physically).
भवति खलु शून्यभावः स्वप्ने विषयग्रहश्च जागरणे । एतद्वितयमतीत्याऽऽनन्दमयमवस्थितं तत्त्वम ॥४९॥
Meaning : In the state of sleep there is a vacuum or lack of conscious activity; while awake the yogi is involved in the activities of the sense organs. But after the true reality is revealed he goes beyond these two states and dwelves in the blissful true reality..
कर्माण्यपि दुःखकृते निष्कर्मत्वं सुखाय विदितं तु । न ततः प्रयतेत कथं निःकर्मत्वे सुलभमोक्षे ॥५०॥
Meaning : Karmas are the cause of sorrow; freedom from karma leads to bliss. If you are aware of this fact, why not endeavour to achieve freedom from karma, the easiest path towards emancipation.
मोक्षोऽस्तु मास्तु यदि वा परमानन्दस्तु वेद्यते स खलु।
यस्मिन्निखिलसुखानि प्रतिभासन्ते न किंचिदिव ॥५१॥ Meaning : Emancipation or no emancipation, it is a fact that the bliss resulting from meditation is tangible and can indeed be experienced here alone. All the pleasures of the world become insignificant as a blade of grass once this bliss is experienced. Twelfth Chapter
