There is non-experience of the supreme bliss form of the self, so there should not be supreme love towards the self, and when it is experienced, why should there be desire of objects? We have to accept the cause that the supreme bliss form remains unknown even when it is known.
There is a criticism of the supreme bliss form of the self: Its supreme bliss form is not perceived by it, or it is? If we do not accept that it is perceived, then the self should not have supreme love for itself. It is because, love is something that arises out of knowledge of something's beauty. If we believe that the supreme bliss form is experienced, then the objects of joy such as perfume, flowers and so on, and the joys that result from enjoying them, should not be desired by anyone. This is because, if someone has directly attained the result, why would they repeatedly want the means?
For one who has experienced eternal and maximum bliss, what is the need to accept the subservience towards temporary joys that eventually result in sorrow? The reason is this. We have to logically conclude that there is both experience and lack of experience of the supreme bliss form of the self. That is why beings seem to perform two contrary actions: They love themselves yet they run after objects for joy. They know the self in the form of the "I" but they do not know that the "I" is of the form of supreme bliss.
