## Verse 159: Explanation of the Action of Uplifting and Downward Movement in the Context of Attachment to Conduct
**437. Explanation:** The state that is being lowered is either greater than, less than, or equal to the state of being bound. But the state that is being uplifted is either equal to or less than the state of being bound, it is not greater.
**438. Example:** Just as...
**(106)** All the parts that are outside the inflow (avali) are lowered, but the parts that are within the inflow are not lowered. They uplift the parts that are like bondage, but not those that are greater than bondage. The inflow (avali) is without interruption, because it is free from uplifting and lowering. ||159||
**441. Explanation:** This verse has another meaning in terms of the reversal of bondage, and another meaning in terms of harmony.
**442. Reversal of Bondage:** We will first explain the meaning in terms of the reversal of bondage.
**443. Reversal of Bondage:** All the parts that are outside the inflow (avali) are lowered, except for those that are within the inflow.
**444. Harmony:** And in the same way, they are uplifted.
