Desires are threefold: external, internal, and consisting merely of latent impressions. Sweets and the like that have been acquired are external; sweets of wishful longing and the like are internal; and those perceived casually, like grass fallen on the path, consist of latent impressions. One who is absorbed in absorption completely abandons all [desires] through the complete destruction of all mental modifications. And there is in him satisfaction recognizable by the mark of a serene face. And that [satisfaction] is not in desires, but in the Self alone, because desires have been abandoned, and because the intellect is turned toward the reality of the Self whose nature is supreme bliss. Nor is the bliss of the Self delineated here by a mental modification, as in cognitive absorption; rather, [it is revealed] by the Self whose nature is self-luminous consciousness. And the satisfaction is not in the form of a mental modification, but in the form of its residual impression. One who is absorbed in absorption is described by words expressing characteristics of this kind:
“He whose mind is not agitated in sorrows, who is free from longing in pleasures, / from whom passion, fear, and anger have departed, is called a silent sage of steady mind.”
