28.66

The Śāstra says: "Moreover, the dhyānas... [are also called the formless realm]," which again refutes the defense. If it is termed "formless" because one views the gross form below [as absent], then since the form in the four dhyānas is subtle compared to the desire realm, one could also apply the statement of "departure from form" [to them]; and if so, the form realm should also be called the "formless realm."
