In plain words

In joining one's own awareness to the measures, what was lost rises again. But if, even when emission has set in like this, he again sprinkles the middle state with the firm hold of the savour of the fourth, then: The measures are things. Joining one's own awareness to them: "Whatever joining there is through the eye, or whatever is the field of speech, whatever the mind thinks, and whatever the intellect determines, whatever things the I-maker owns, and whatever stands as what is known, and whatever is not: he is to be sought with effort right there." By this way, set out in the Svacchanda, for one who everywhere attends to the form "this universe is I", dense with consciousness, there is the rising again, the re-emergence, of him who was lost through the inferior emission described before, whose nature, made of the wonder dense with the fourth alone, had been stolen away. That is, the yogin comes to the fullness of the wealth of oneness with it. As the Svacchanda says, beginning: "The mind, which even in yogins is restless, forcefully so …" and going on: "He whose state is made of the knowable, firm, full on every side: his mind does not waver, in whatever state he is. Wherever the mind goes, let him contemplate the knowable right there; wavering, where will it go? For everything is made of Śiva." and: "In all the objects, and in the things of the senses, abiding: wherever one looks, nothing that is not Śiva is found anywhere."
