So the fullest conception of a perfect thing is something which is full in beauty and ecstasy. Mere existence or consciousness alone cannot be the highest perfection. Ecstasy is the most perfect thing. Ecstasy, divine love, and beauty presuppose consciousness and existence. And of these three, ananda, or ecstasy, is the final conception of spiritual substance.
Ecstasy can exist by itself.
Neither existence nor consciousness is complete in itself. Consciousness alone hankers for ecstasy. And existence without consciousness is to exist with no purpose. Ecstasy is an independent and concrete substance. Both existence and consciousness are subservient to ecstasy.
