COMMENTARY

When a man is in a swoon, or in a stunned condition, he is in half combination with Brahman, because of the rule of the remainder. In this condition Brahman is not reached in the same way fully as in deep sleep, because the soul is conscious of pain. Nor is there total want of attainment to Brahman, like the waking state, because the soul is unconscious of external objects. Thus by the rule of remainder, we conclude that there is half combination. This we find described in the following verses of the Varaha Purana:

When the soul is at a distance from the Supreme Lord in the heart (that is, when it is in the eyes), then it is in waking consciousness; when it is nearer to the Lord (that is, in the throat), then it is in the dream consciousness. But when it has entered into the Lord, it is in deep sleep. Therefore, these, are the three states, thus described; But swoon is an intermediate state, in which there is half combination with Brahman, because on recovery, there is remembered the consciousness of pain.

The objector says: The books describe only three states: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Where do you get this fourth state called «Mugdha» or swoon? This is not a new state, but one of the above three.

To this objection we reply, that this is a separate state altogether. It is not the waking state, because external objects are not perceived in this state through the senses. Nor is it the dreaming state, because the person is unconscious. Nor is it the deep sleep state, because there is not that peaceful look of the face and want of movement of the limbs. Therefore, it is a different state altogether and is to be inferred, by the rule of the remainder. Moreover, it is a well-known state, recognized both by physicians and by the world. Thus the purport of the whole topic is that the Lord God Hari alone must be worshipped and served with devotion, for His glory is such that he is the Maker of everything, even of the conditions of consciousness, like waking, dreaming, and the rest.
