Enter the zone of quantum bliss

BLISS is continuously happening within us without gap of time and space. As long as we associate our bliss with a particular time or a space, we will miss the bliss. We then think that the gap between sufferings is bliss. In life, we seem to experience happiness only in gaps between sufferings.

If you associate pleasure with a particular space, say a fantasy home, or with an object such as a car or with a particular person, you feel happy when you are with these things. You crave to be around that space, object or person. Possession starts, and possession always takes revenge by trying to own the object or person. When you try to possess, you reduce people to matter. Possession always gives rise to hatred and jealousy because of your dependency on the person or object.

Associating bliss with time also leads to suffering. When you try to bring back the time that you felt happiness to experience it again, you somehow find that the happiness is no longer the same. The joy is lacking. After a few attempts you feel depressed and sick. You don’t feel the energy of happiness.

When you understand that happiness does not depend on time and space, you enter the zone of quantum bliss. When you associate happiness with time and space, you stay within boundaries of suffering.

For example, you have a great desire to eat a sweet. When you eat the sweet, you feel joy. You associate that feeling of joy with the sweet and you wish to eat more of the sweet. If you keep eating more and more of it, at one point in time, you feel revulsion not joy; you cannot eat any more. If your joy was really associated with the sweet, then the joy should only multiply, is it not? But it doesn’t happen that way. What is it then that gave you that joy?

What actually happens is, when you feel that you are enjoying an object, the moment that object is near you, the number of thoughts in your mind reduces, and a feeling of peace and joy expresses itself. But you associate this feeling with the object, the sweet! The joy is actually because of the reduced frequency of your thoughts. When the frequency of thoughts reduces, you experience bliss, which is independent of any outer world object. When you experience this for longer periods of time, you have taken the jump into quantum bliss.

Be blissful!
