bliss

Blissfulness is one of the many beautiful aspects of the enlightened way of being. Bliss: that relaxed state of happiness that flows deep within one, throughout the day, and the night too; bliss. It’s as if the whole of existence is giving one a gentle, warm massage on a beach; so relaxing; so soothing; with such lovely sensations running through one’s being.

So the bliss comes and is there in the background, even when the surface of one’s being is caught up in day-to-day matters; still, somewhere, one is in touch with this deep undercurrent of bliss. It complements the moments of ecstasy, which are another aspect of liberation. But whereas ecstasy takes one into extremes of pleasurable sensation; a total drunkenness; an orgasm of pleasure; the bliss, the bliss is more like the time after orgasm, when you are utterly relaxed; with absolutely no unfulfilled desires; happy in your being. This is the bliss, the blissfulness, that is one of the many gifts; one of the fruits of the spiritual journey.

Come soak in this bliss, as you would rest your body in a tropical lagoon; the warm water supporting you; no effort; just bliss.
