Craziness reigns in the world but I remain focused on the inner world.

Since bliss will be our lot at some future time, hopefully not too far away, I’d like to look at what our sources have said about the nature and experience of bliss.

And this time, rather than looking at higher-dimensional celestials and galactics, I’d like to look at Earth’s own sages.

Nonetheless, most of the people consulted here turn out to be either avatars or else ascended beings.

Sri Ramakrishna and the Buddha are examples of the former; Sri Ramana Maharshi may be an example of the latter. We don’t know his background except that he experienced sahaja nirvikalpa samadhi, which is Ascension.

The Buddha tells us that “[the] Highest Reality is an exalted state of bliss.” (1) I must take his word for it. But certainly bliss of a less exalted kind is still unimaginably delightful.

Others agree with him. Sri Ramakrishna, for example:

“The bliss of worship and communion with God is the true wine, the wine of ecstatic love.” (2)+++
