20. Trishu chaturtham tailavad aasechyam
Supreme Consciousness is the turiya (fourth) state of consciousness beyond the three states of waking, dream and deep sleep. This state is eternal and the other three
states come and go in it. As the turiya state alone exists and as the three preceding states merge into it and disappear, the turiya state transcends itself and becomes the
turiyatita. The yogi is to strive to be in this state of consciousness without interruption like the flow of oil.

24. Maatraasvapratyayasamdhaane nastasya punar utthaanam.
A state of consciousness is a manifestation of patterned interaction of physical, biological, psychological and social-cultural factors. Consciousness is related to human nature as we normally understand, and also to the nature of Reality. This leads to the postulation of the levels of consciousness, some being in a normal state and a few others in a higher state of consciousness. Human beings in their ordinary waking conscious state can become aware of themselves (ego), of others (interpersonal), about human nature in general (realities of human nature), universe (aesthetic) and about the external world as such (reality). Transcendent awareness is available to those who are able to go beyond the confines of space–time frame work. But when one experiences transcendence, one is open to other realities. This experience will have profound influence on other aspects of awareness. The interrelatedness of different aspects of consciousness leads to the breakdown of compartmentalized outlook for one experiencing transcendent awareness resulting in the awareness of the Self.
