dependent happiness is with form. One must know the commendable kinds of knowledge and happiness out of these divisions.
Explanatory Note: Knowledge and happiness are each of two kinds: sense-independent without form, and sense-dependent with form. The former - sense-independent without form - knowledge and happiness are worth accepting, and the latter - sense-dependent with form – worth rejecting. Knowledge and happiness produced by the non-corporeal soul, i.e. consciousness, through its own power of knowledge-transformation, without physical contact with the objects-of-knowledge (jneya), are entirely sense-independent (atindriya), non-destructible, incessant, without adversary, and steady. These are, therefore, commendable, and worth accepting. Knowledge and happiness produced on destruction-cum-subsidence (ksayopasama) of material-karmas are sense-dependent, destructible, sporadic, with adversary, and unsteady. These are, therefore, not commendable, and worth rejecting.
