The Haṁsa-guhya Prayers

agitated as in the working and dreaming states, and when the mind is not dissolved as in suṣupti, deep sleep, one comes to the platform of trance. Then one's material vision and the memories of the mind, which manifests names and forms, are vanquished. Only in such a trance is the Supreme Personality of Godhead revealed. Thus let us offer our respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is seen in that uncontaminated, transcendental state.
PURPORT
There are two stages of God realization. One is called  sujñeyam , or very easily understood (generally by mental speculation), and the other is called  durjñeyam , understood only with difficulty. Paramātmā realization and Brahman realization are considered  sujñeyam , but realization of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is  durjñeyam . As described here, one attains the ultimate realization of the Personality of Godhead when one gives up the activities of the mind—thinking, feeling and willing—or, in other words, when mental speculation stops. This transcendental realization is above  suṣupti , deep sleep. In our gross conditional stage we perceive things through material experience and remembrance, and in the subtle stage we perceive the world in dreams. The process of vision also involves remembrance and also exists in a subtle form. Above gross experience and dreams is  suṣupti , deep sleep, and when one comes to the completely spiritual platform, transcending deep sleep, he attains trance,  viśuddha-sattva , or  vasudeva-sattva , in which the Personality of Godhead is revealed.
Ataḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāmādi na bhaved grāhyam indriyaiḥ:  as long as one is situated in duality, on the sensual platform, gross or subtle, realization of the original Personality of Godhead is impossible.  Sevonmukhe hi jihvādau svayam eva sphuraty adaḥ:  but when one engages his senses in the service of the Lord—specifically, when one engages the tongue in chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mantra  and tasting only Kṛṣṇa  prasāda  with a spirit of service—the Supreme Personality of Godhead is revealed. This is indicated in this verse by the word  śuci-sadmane .  Śuci  means purified. By the spirit of rendering service with one's senses, one's entire existence becomes  śuci-sadma , the platform of uncontaminated purity. Dakṣa therefore offers his respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is revealed on the platform of  śuci-sadma . In
