The construction deserves examination, for it is built from the negative and hence curious. It says: everything is happiness — by the destruction of suffering; everything is being — by the destruction of the false. That is, a positive definition is derived from the negation of a negation.
This device is valid in reasoning: if suffering is absent, happiness remains; if the false is absent, the true remains. But worth noting is what it fails to give. Happiness defined as the absence of suffering is peace, not joy; and of the difference between them, discussed when reading the Jabala-darshana (6.35), where the distinction between brahma-ananda and prema-ananda was cited.
Let us briefly repeat: peace and love are different states, not different measures of one; a person who feels well because he is untroubled and a person who feels well because he is with someone differ not in the quantity of good feeling. Let us add what the Vaishnava side adds to this, giving its description a different form. Its Highest is defined not by the negation of suffering, but by presence: rasa, "taste," and prema, "love."
And hence its descriptions are positive and detailed — it lists form, companions, activities; whereas a teaching that defines happiness as the absence of misfortune is forced to remain silent about happiness itself.
