COMMENTARY

The word «and» in the Sutra has the force of «only». The word «also» means the inclusion of the worldly happiness also. The word Adhikarikam means the office of world-rulers like Indra and the rest The Nirapeksha devotees do not desire even such high offices. Why? Because there is danger of fall from such offices; as we find stated in the Gita (VIII., 16):

All the worlds, below the world of Brahma, come and go, O Arjuna; but he who cometh unto Me, O Kaunteya, knoweth birth no more.

The reason of their not falling from the heaven-world is that they had even in the beginning of their entering in the heaven-world no strong desire for enjoying that world.

The Puranic authority the reader can find out for himself.

Note: Such, for example, as we find in the Bhagavata Parana, XI., 14. 14:

He who has resigned himself to Me does not wish to get anything other than Myself, not even the Supreme rule of a Brahma or the pomp and glory of an Indra or the status of the sole monarch of the whole world, or the rulership of the ocean or the spiritual powers of an Occultist, nay, not even the Mukti consisting in non-rebirth. The only Mukti that he wants is the eternal freedom to serve the Lord of Eternity.

Thus though through the glory of Vidya a Bhakta may get these heavenly enjoyments, yet since these enjoyments comes to him unsolicited, they do not cause any cessation in the one-pointed current of His love towards the Lord. Therefore, there is no danger of fall in the case of sach a devotee. The next Sutra shows that he is superior to the Parinishthita also.
