BLISS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

When I am confined to body, instincts, feelings and thoughts; related to friends, relatives; status, institution, organization, party, country etc; it is a realm of individual, personal or subjective state! In this state I have urge not only to survive but to do everything possible to flourish, to be powerful and to dominate others!

In this state I go through the cycles of excitation and depression. But irrespective of the grandeur or ugliness of the success or failure respectively; I always remain weak and unsatisfied. I am always plagued by fear, anxiety, worry, anger, grief, guilt, elation and so on!

I remain; a mortal, ordinary, subjective and hence fallible creature; in obliviousness to NAMA, which is the deepest ocean of bliss inside, but not confined by my body and mind. It is infinite and spread beyond my body, instincts, feelings and thoughts; related to my status, friends, relatives and my institution, organization, party, country etc! NAMA is beyond the realm of individual, personal or subjective state! It is truly all powerful, universal and unifying.

Being associated (even if it is through a weak link initially) with this omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent bliss viz. NAMA; is the grace and victory (VIJAY) of Guru, who is not different from NAMA!
