BLISS HAS SOME QUALITY OF PLEASURE IN IT, IT HAS SOME QUALITY OF HAPPINESS IN IT; BUT IT IS MUCH MORE. AND THE PLUS IS THAT YOU FEEL ABSOLUTELY FULFILLED, CONTENTED, WITH NO DESIRE, NO EXPECTATION. THIS VERY MOMENT YOU ARE WHERE EVERYBODY WANT TO BE, AND THERE IS A TREMENDOUS FEELING THAT MORE THAN THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE; THERE IS NO WAY. IT IS JUST AS THERE CAN BE NOTHING BIGGER THAN THE SKY; IT IS ABOUNDED. IT IS INCONCEIVABLE TO THE MIND, BECAUSE THE MIND CAN ONLY CONCEIVE LIMITED THINGS. HERE YOU CAN FEEL HOW LIMITED THE MIND IS. IT CANNOT EVEN CONCEIVE SOMETHING UNLIMITED.THE SKY IS THERE, WITHOUT BOUNDARIES. YOU CANNOT COME TO A POINT WHERE YOU CAN SAY, “HERE IS THE BOUNDARY.” JUST THINK ABOUT IT. HOW CAN YOU SAY, “HERE IS THE BOUNDARY?”--- BECAUSE A BOUNDARY MEANS THAT SOMETHING MUST BE BEYOND THE BOUNDARY. TWO THINGS ARE NEEDED, ABSOLUTELY NEEDED, TO MAKE A BOUNDARY. IF THERE IS NOTHING BEYOND, THEN NOTHING IS MAKING A BOUNDARY; THEN THERE IS NO BOUNDARY, YOU WILL HAVE TO GO INTO NOTHING. BUT YOU CAN NEVER COME TO A POINT WHERE YOU WILL FIND A BOARD: “HERE ENDS THE UNIVERSE.” IT ENDS NOWHERE, IT BEGINS NOWHERE. THE SAME IS THE EXPERIENCE OF BLISS. BLISS IS WITHIN YOU, WITHOUT YOU.BLISS ID IN THE LIFE, IT IS IN DEATH.IT IS WHEN YOU ARE HEALTHY, IT IS WHEN YOU ARE SICK.IT IS WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG, IT IS WHEN YOU ARE OLD.NOTHING MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE TO BLISS.BLISS IS SIMPLY TRANSCENDENTAL TO ALL THAT EXISTS IN THE UNIVERSE. AND BECAUSE IT IS UNIVERSAL, EVERYWHERE—WITHIN YOU, WITHIN ME HOWEVER DIFFICULT IT MAY BE TO EXPLAIN IT, TO EXPERIENCE IT IS NOT SO DIFFICULT. LET ME REPEAT MY STATEMENT BECAUSE THAT MAY APPEAR SOMEWHAT CRAZY: TO EXPLAIN BLISS IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN TO EXPERIENCE IT.
