Happiness, success, knowledge, and absence of attachment are the marks of the quality of Goodness. Whatever states are experienced by living creatures, as shown in acts, during their hours of wakefulness, reappear in memory during their hours of sleep when they dream. The passage of our ideas as they exist during wakefulness into those of dreams, and that of ideas as they exist in dreams into those of wakefulness, become directly perceptible in that state of consciousness which is called dreamless sleep. That is eternal, and that is desirable.
आनन्दः कर्मणां सिद्धिः प्रतिपत्तिः परा गतिः। सात्त्विकस्य निमित्तानि भावान् संश्रयते स्मृतिः॥ जन्तुष्वेकतमेष्वेवं भावा ये विधिमास्थिताः। भावयोरीप्सितं नित्यं प्रत्यक्षं गमनं तयोः॥
