Verse 3.21.55

यथा स्वप्ने यथा दीर्घकालध्याने यथा भ्रमे ।
यथा च सति संकल्पे यथा गन्धर्वपत्तने ॥ ५५ ॥

yathā svapne yathā dīrghakāladhyāne yathā bhrame |
yathā ca sati saṃkalpe yathā gandharvapattane || 55 ||

So your material body becomes spiritual (ativahika), by means of your leaning to spirituality, as in your sleep, in your protracted meditation, insensibility, fancies and reveries.
