Translation
There is no pleasure or satisfaction or cessation of sorrow in the experience of unreal things. Always stay satiated in that experience of non–dual bliss and in the awareness of the Self.
Annotation
Vedanta talks of viṣayānanda, the happiness from sense objects which is limited, in contrast to brahmānanda, the bliss of Brahman which is unlimited. Happiness from sense objects increases desire and seeks more sense objects. The bliss of Brahman is infinite in nature and hence there is no further desire.
