synopsis
Reader of the sutra: Ma Yoga Taru, also chanting.
Hindi part:
(Translated as in Flight of the Alone to the Alone (discourses))
The sutra
In the trance of maya, the illusory, man thinks his body to be all; thus he pursues all manner of empty activity. In jagratawastha, the waking state, he seeks contentment in foolish pleasures, in the satisfaction of lust and in intoxicants.
In the world of his imagination, man experiences pleasure and pain in swapnawastha, the dream state. Man feels a measure of relief in sushuptawastha, the state of deep sleep, where all the deceptions of illusion end and man lapses into tamas guna, life-energy's lethargic state.

The sutra
The self, deluded by maya, identifies with the body and does all actions. In the waking states it is he, the same self, who finds gratification through the various objects of enjoyment, such as women, food, wine, et cetera. In the dream state that very same individualized ego experiences pleasure and pain in a field of experiences created by its own maya, the least apprehensive of reality. During the state of profound sleep, when everything is merged, it is overpowered by tamas, inertia, and experiences it as happiness.
