Verse 152

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Because the world still appears as real in the first three grounds, they correspond to waking. Beyond them the fourth resembles dream; as even that appearance gently fades, the fifth resembles deep sleep. In the sixth, wondrous bliss abounds and it is likened to turīya; beyond it, the seventh is free of every conceptual construction, which scripture indicates through silence as ‘beyond.’
