 This quote shows that ultimately the feeling of pleasure is an illusion and that our ordinary existence is necessarily beset with pain. This demonstrates the link between feeling and error, according to the Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika philosophers. Both pleasure and pain are two factors that are responsible for our notion of “I” that prevents us from attaining final liberation. Therefore, the pursuit of pleasure is futile and ought to be abandoned in favour of final liberation.
