5. Only by the will of the Supreme Lord the dream vision is withdrawn; for from that Lord are the soul’s bondage and release.

The Lord only is the author of withdrawing the dream creation from the view of the soul; for in His gift lies the release of the soul from bondage (as well as bondage). “It is said in the Kurmapurana as follows, It is He (the Lord) that makes the soul perceive the dream creation, etc., and hides them from his view; for on His gracious will, the bondage and release of this soul depend.”

6. Even the state which is attended with special attachment to the gross body (is brought about by the Lord’s Will).

Also the state of conscious living in connection with the body (i.e., the waking state) is brought about by the supreme will of the Lord alone, not (by the agency of time, the soul, etc.). This appears from the Kauntharavya Shruti, “The Lord only, (not time, etc.), brings the soul into the state of wakefulness; He only (subjects him) to the state of dreaming; for He is the all-powerful Lord able to withstand all our enemies. Being essentially one. He becomes many.”

7. Their absence (i.e., the absence of the two aforesaid states, dreams and wakefulness) takes place in the Lord in the Nadis, according to the Shruti (and the well-known reference).

The state of sleep which is the absence of wakefulness and dreams, is brought about within the Lord present in the Nadis. For the scriptural passages say, “Then (in sleep) in these Nadis (in the Sushumna), the soul is come” (Ch. VIII., 6. 3) “O dear one, during the state of sleep, this person (soul) comes to be with Sat (the Supreme Lord)” (Ch. VI. 8. 1).

8. Hence, the waking (of the soul from sleep) (proceeds) from Him (the lord only).

For in Him only the sleeping of the soul takes place; (so the waking of the soul resting in the Lord in the Nadis, necessarily depends upon His Supreme will, not on other causes). Accordingly the Kaundinya Shruti says, “This Lord only wakes the soul from sleep; from Him the soul rises; He indeed is the giver of consciousness; He is the Supreme Lord”.
