9.1 Summary

Becoming vs. un-becoming, existent vs. non-existent have basically the same underlying phenomenon and characteristics. Non-existence is due to the absence of perception of a past entity and due to opposition of the present perception with the memory of that entity. Based on these principles, the non-pot, non-cow, and non-dharma are explained. “It does not exist” is a distinct negation of "non-being". Due to a special conjunction of the Ātmā and the mind within ourselves, the Ātmā is perceptible. The Samādhi state arises from inherence of actions and qualities. The qualities of the Ātmā inhere in the Ātmā.

Due to the absence of reference to action and quality, the prior is non-existent. Existent becomes non-existent. Due to absence of designation of action and quality in the non-existent, it is perceived as a different entity. Existence as well, like non-existent. And that which is different from the non-existent, that is also non-existent. Non-existence is due to the absence of perception of a past entity and due to opposition of the present perception with the memory of that entity. Likewise, is the perceptibility between un-becoming and becoming. Based on these principles, the non-pot, non-cow, and non-dharma are explained. “It does not exist” is a distinct negation of "non-being". “The pot is not in the house” is the negation of the conjunction of the existent pot within the house. Due to a special conjunction of the Ātmā and the mind within ourselves, the Ātmā is perceptible. Likewise, it is perceptible in other substances. Of those in Samādhi, i.e. an equanimous state, the internal senses are uncomposed and withdrawn. That (state arises) from inherence in actions and qualities. The qualities of the Ātmā inhere in the Ātmā.
