മൂന്ന് ഭൂമികകൾ ‘ജാഗ്രത്’ എന്നും നാലാമത് ‘സ്വപ്നം’ എന്നും പറയുന്നു. എന്നാൽ ചിത്തം ശരദ്കാല മേഘഖണ്ഡങ്ങൾ അലിഞ്ഞുപോകുന്നതുപോലെ ലയിക്കുന്നു; അഞ്ചാം ഭൂമികയിലെത്തിയവൻ സത്ത്വാവശേഷത്തിൽ മാത്രം നിലകൊള്ളുന്നു. ഇവിടെ ചിത്തലയം മൂലം ജഗദ്-വികൽപം ഉദിക്കുകയില്ല; ‘സുഷുപ്തപദം’ എന്ന പേരുള്ള അഞ്ചാം ഭൂമികയിൽ എത്തി, ശേഷിച്ച വിശേഷാംശങ്ങൾ ശാന്തമായപ്പോൾ, അവൻ അദ്വൈതമാത്രമായി നിലകൊള്ളുന്നു. ദ്വൈതഭാസം ഉരുകിപ്പോയതിനാൽ ആനന്ദിച്ച് അന്തഃപ്രബോധവാനായി, അഞ്ചാം ഭൂമികയിൽ സുഷുപ്തമനസ്സുപോലെ തന്നെ ഇരിക്കുന്നു. അന്തർമുഖനായി നിലകൊണ്ടിട്ടും ബാഹ്യപ്രവർത്തനങ്ങളിൽ ഏർപ്പെട്ടാൽ, ക്ഷീണം മൂലം അവൻ എപ്പോഴും നിദ്രാലുവെന്നപോലെ തോന്നുന്നു. ഈ ഭൂമികയിൽ അഭ്യാസം ചെയ്ത് വാസനാരഹിതനായി, ക്രമേണ ‘തുര്യ’ എന്നു വിളിക്കുന്ന ആറാം ഭൂമികയിൽ പ്രവേശിക്കുന്നു. അവിടെ അസത്-രൂപവും അല്ല, സത്-രൂപവും അല്ല; ‘ഞാൻ’ ഇല്ല, ‘അഹങ്കാരക്രിയ’യും ഇല്ല; ക്ഷീണമായ മനനം മാത്രം ശേഷിച്ച്—അവൻ അദ്വൈതത്തിൽ അത്യന്തം നിർഭയനായി നിലകൊള്ളുന്നു. ഗ്രന്ഥിരഹിതൻ, സംശയം ശാന്തം, ജീവന്മുക്തൻ, ധ്യാനത്തിൽ തെളിഞ്ഞവൻ—പുറത്ത് അനിർവാണനായാലും ഉള്ളിൽ നിർവാണൻ, ചിത്രദീപംപോലെ സ്ഥിരൻ. ആറാം ഭൂമിയിൽ നിലകൊണ്ട് ഏഴാം ഭൂമി പ്രാപിക്കണം.
The triad of stages is called ‘waking’; the fourth is called ‘dream’. But the mind dissolves into a melting-away like fragments of autumn-clouds; one who has reached the fifth stage remains with only sattva as residue. The world-construction (vikalpa) does not arise, because here the mind has been dissolved; having reached the fifth stage, named the ‘deep-sleep state’, with all particularized portions pacified, one abides as non-duality alone. With the appearance of duality fallen away, joyful and therefore inwardly awakened, one who has reached the fifth stage remains with a mind (as if) in deep sleep. Remaining inward-turned, though still engaged in outward activity, one is seen as if always drowsy due to weariness. Practising in this stage, free from latent tendencies (vāsanā), one gradually falls into the sixth stage, another called ‘turya’. There, one is neither of the form of non-being nor being; there is neither ‘I’ nor even ‘I-making’; only attenuated mentation remains—one abides in non-duality, utterly fearless. Knotless, doubt stilled, a living-liberated one, lucid in contemplation—though not (externally) extinguished, yet extinguished—he stands like a painted lamp. Having stood in the sixth stage, he should attain the seventh stage.
