Gita IV 38, commentary. “Now, for Transcendental Consciousness to become permanent and to co-exist with the waking state of consciousness, it is necessary that the two states of the nervous system corresponding to those two states of consciousness should co-exist. This is brought about by the mind gaining Transcendental Consciousness and the waking state of consciousness, passing from one to the other. This gradual and systematic culture of the physical nervous system creates a physiological situation in which the two states of consciousness exist together simultaneously.”
