If [there] he does not think — then, thinking, he does not think: for there is no destruction of that power in the thinker, since he is indestructible; but there is no second, nothing else, separate, that might be its object.

The sixth beat: thought. "Thinking, he does not think": the thoughtlessness of deep sleep is not the absence of a thinker but the absence of a second to think about; the lamp of the mind does not go out — the objects do.
Beat by beat it is one casting: the faculty is indestructible (avināśitvāt), and only the "second" — the separate object — has disappeared. The depth does not take away powers; it takes away separateness, and in this the repose of the ātman differs from any swoon: there the light goes out, here only the boundaries do.
