BLISS: IS AN ORGASM OF THE MIND The Puranas say that everyone seeks bliss, but only two types of people find this elusive emotion; the self-realized and the idiot - everyone else suffers. Don’t despair, we can increase our happiness by engaging in activities which are fun filled and rewarding with compassion and empathy in our hearts. Bliss,stated Cora Carmack,is an orgasm in the brain and not an outcome to be achieved once and for all like death, but enjoyed in spurts. It is something that comes when we are energized with altruistic motives, as we move forward in life. We need to be more realistic about reality,nothing not even satori is forever. It is not a fixed state nor can one achieve it by being virtuous,divine or by prayer, it is more of a fulfillment of our relationships with this universe. As philosophy says, it is about having the freedom to move in the direction that is most authentic. Everyone wants to increase happiness and reduce misery. Sorrow,joy and contentment in life is a process and not a state of being …. it is more of a spiritual direction rather than a destination for a state of everlasting bliss-like nirvana as everyone assumes is forever. Torn between ecstatic joy and the symbolism of sorrow – true bliss is to surrender and keep nothing for ourselves. -Vinay-
