TRANSLATION
"'My dear lord, You are the transcendental reservoir of all transcendental
qualities. Your pleasure potency, existence potency and knowledge potency
are actually all one spiritual internal potency. The conditioned soul, although
actually spiritual, experiences sometimes pleasure, sometimes pain and
sometimes a mixture of pain and pleasure. This is due to his being touched by
matter. However, because You are above all material qualities, these are not
found in You. Your superior spiritual potency is completely transcendental,
and for You there is no such thing as relative pleasure, pleasure mixed with
pain, or pain itself.'
PURPO RT
This is a quotation from the Vi$f)U Puraf)a (1.12.69).
