Your pleasure potency, existence potency and knowledge potency are actually all one spiritual internal potency.

The conditioned soul, although actually spiritual, sometimes experiences pleasure, sometimes pain and sometimes a mixture of pain and pleasure.

This is due to his being touched by matter.

But because You are above all material qualities, these are not found in You.

Your superior spiritual potency is completely transcendental, and for You there is no such thing as relative pleasure, pleasure mixed with pain, or pain itself.’
