It is worth noting that here one is enjoined to pierce citta-ānanda, "the bliss of consciousness." That is, on this path not only the objective but bliss itself is cut away. This detail occurs in yogic books and is, to my mind, the most consistent point of this whole teaching: if the goal is the absence of everything, then bliss too must be cut away, for it is something.
Let us say plainly what is worth examining here, for this question runs through the whole of Vaiṣṇava reading. If the highest is described as ānanda, "bliss," and on the approach to it bliss is ordered cut away — then either the word is used in two senses, or the construction is contradictory. The school answers with the first: citta-ānanda is the bliss of the mind, that is, an experience, while the highest ānanda is a being, not an experience.
The answer is well-founded; and the Vaiṣṇava side accepts it, but draws the opposite conclusion from it. If the highest bliss is not an experience of the mind, then it is someone's; for bliss experienced by no one is a word without a referent. And its argument, cited when reading the Varāha (2.44) and (3.27), repeats here: the verb "to be pleased" requires two; and the noun "bliss" requires the same — it is always someone's and about something.
Hence its goal is described not as the cutting-away of bliss, but as the change of its object: bliss for oneself is cut away, and bliss from Him appears; and about ātmānanda and premānanda it was said when reading the Jābāla-darśana (6.35).
