How are we to attain bliss?

 

It is a pity to find many a confused and disturbed person even in the

spiritual field. Though he is in an asram or spiritual centre, he

undergoes `srama,' suffering. It is a matter of shame if a person

calls himself a devotee without following a single teaching or

practicing it for his transformation. The life of a devotee should be

pure, calm, peaceful, detached and he should pine for the knowledge

and experience of the Self or spirit or atma. Infinite desires

meaningless worries and anxieties to get all that one doesn't really

deserve are -obstacles in spiritual life. So many don't enjoy divine

bliss. Body attachment makes things much worse.

 

Four qualities are very essential for the attainment of divine bliss:

s'amam-damam control of the outer and inner senses, `tr pti',

contentment, `vicarana,.'enquiry, and `satsang', good company. They

confer divine bliss on the seeker. You have got to know how this most

valuable divine bliss is contained within the human body, which is

itself transient, and is of lesser value than the spirit.

 

The body is composed of two bucketfuls of water, one bucketful of

lime, iron of four two inch nails, lead of six pencils, phosphorous

of nine hundred and twenty matchsticks, and fat of four Lux soaps.

Herein lies the atma, divine spirit. Divine bliss can be attained by

investigating, realising and experiencing the inner core of this

body, viz. atma.
