15. The discriminating persons apprehend (by analysis and

anticipation) all worldly objects as sorrowfulbecause they cause

suffering in consequence, in their afflictive experiences and in

their latencies and also because of the contrary nature of the Gunas

(which produces changes all the time).

17. Uniting the Seer or the subject with the seen or the object, is

the cause of that which has to be avoided.

 

18. The object or knowable is by nature sentient, mutable and inert.

It exists in the form of the elements and the organs, and serves the

purpose of experience and emancipation.

(Lingamatra), and that which is with any indicator (Alinga) are the

states of the' Gunas.
