Meaning

The commentary: the mind that has become subtle and, even when it comes out of meditation and deals with the world, is endowed with knowledge of the Self, meets as one the minds of other creations and births, and the bodies of gods and the like fit for that; a mind that has not become subtle, and is not always awake, does not meet them.
