To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Another, having satisfied himself that 'intellect' is Soul, is contented. The technical name of his ' acquiescence' is salila ' water.' Another, having come to the conclusion that ' self-consciousness' is Soul, is con- tented. The technical name of his ' acquiescence' is ogha ' quan- tity.' Another, having decided that the 'subtile elements,' those called the ' unfitted for [mortal] fruition' [No. 25] are Soul, is contented. The technical name of his ' acquiescence' is wish- t% ' rain.' Such ar...e the four ' internal' or « spiritual' (ddhydtmika) kinds of 'acquiescence.' Where [together or separately] those four kinds of acquiescence exist, liberation does not take place — from the inconsistency [of such sentiments] with a knowledge of the principles. The five * external' (vdhya) kinds of ' acquiescence' consist in abstaining from [the enjoyment of the five] objects of sense, [such abstinence proceeding] from observation of the evils of acquiring, preserving, waste, attachment [to sensual pleasures], and injuriousness.
