TRANSLATION And that
happiness which is blind to self-realization, which is delusion from beginning
to end and which arises from sleep, laziness and illusion is said to be
of the nature of ignorance.
PURPORT One who takes
pleasure in laziness and in sleep is certainly in the mode of darkness,
and one who has no idea how to act and how not to act is also in the mode
of ignorance. For the person in the mode of ignorance, everything is illusion.
There is no happiness either in the beginning or the end. For the person
in the mode of passion there might be some kind of ephemeral happiness
in the beginning and at the end distress, but for the person in the mode
of ignorance there is only distress both in the beginning and at the end.
