Purport

In Bhagavad-gītā (7.13) Lord Kṛṣṇa states:

tribhir guṇa-mayair bhāvair ebhiḥ sarvam idaṁ jagat mohitaṁ nābhijānāti mām ebhyaḥ param avyayam

“Deluded by the three modes [goodness, passion and ignorance], the whole world does not know Me, who am above the modes and inexhaustible.” Thus the Lord is called turīya, or the fourth factor beyond the three modes of nature. According to Śrīla Vīrarāghava Ācārya, turīya also indicates that the Lord is beyond the three ordinary phases of consciousness, namely wakefulness, dreaming and dreamless sleep. Bhaga-vac-chabda-śabdite indicates that the Lord is known as Bhagavān, or the possessor of unlimited opulences, principally beauty, fame, wealth, knowledge, renunciation and intelligence.

In conclusion, one can obtain the mystic opulence vaśitā, or freedom from the modes of nature, by meditating upon the Lord as turīya, the fourth factor beyond those modes. Everything depends upon the favor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Translation
The yogī who concentrates his mind on my form of Nārāyaṇa, known as the fourth factor, Bhagavān, obtains the mystic perfection called vaśitā—not being influenced by the guṇas, since he possesses my qualities. The word tūrīya is explained: virāḍ hiraṇyagarbhaś ca kāraṇaṁ cety upādhayaḥ | īśasya yantribhir hīnaṁ tat turīyaṁ pracakṣate || The Lord’s universal form, his Hiraṇyagarbha form and māyā are all coverings, but because the Lord is not covered by these three, intelligent authorities call him turīya, the fourth. He is the Lord, Nārāyaṇa, Bhagavān, full of six great qualities. The meaning is this. The Lord does not have coverings or upādhis of the gross universal form or the subtle Hiraṇyagarbha form, effects of māyā. He does not have a covering of their cause, māyā (kāraṇam). He has a form which is eterntiy, knowledge and bliss. What is he called? He is called Bhagavān. Vaśitā means “to be unaffected by the guṇas.”
