Verse 304

Tap any word for its meaning.

US-P16.055ab ।US-P16.055cd ॥

In plain words

Happiness and sorrow cannot be intrinsic properties of the Self, because the Self is changeless. Why then could they not belong to something other than the Self — or to the mind, since there is no relevant difference?

Close to the Sanskrit

Happiness and others are not properties of the Self, because of the changelessness of the Self; why [are they not] from another, or equally from the mind due to lack of distinction?
