38. The deluded (mūḍham) mind, situated in the state of deep sleep and devoid of the (other) three (states), becomes as if dead. And in that mind (citta) which is thus "dead," there exists a singular, undifferentiated essence (sattvam). Indeed, all practitioners of (yoga) (yoginaḥ) strive with effort (yatna) to attain precisely that.
