SECRET OF BLISS Grace of Clue-Giver Every one desires to have bliss. Bliss means very intense happiness, which exists continuously. Such bliss exists only with God. To get such bliss, you have to attain the state of God. But the main condition to attain the state of God is to not aspire for that state and hence to not aspire for bliss. One has to start in the spiritual path with this fundamental correction. But everyone starts with this fundamental mistake of aspiration for bliss. Some start to achieve the state of God with hidden a reference to this bliss. Anyway both are one and the same since bliss is possible only for the state of God. You have to get the clue from God alone to get such bliss. The clue means the special knowledge (Prajnanam). This clue is not like an industrial secret [trade secret], which can be obtained somehow, and then one can dispose of the clue-giver forever. Such disposal of the clue-giver cannot harm you in the case of the trade secret, because the application of the clue is not at the grace of clue-giver. But this clue is special because even the application of this clue is completely based on the grace of the clue-giver (God). You have to continuously remain in the divine service of God so that the application of the clue is continuously successful. Therefore, the continuity of the application of this clue to get continuous bliss by maintaining yourself continuously in the state of God is purely based on the grace of God. The grace of God does not end with the handing over of the clue to you. The grace has to continue forever for its continuous successful application. If you were not aiming for this bliss from the beginning and since your aim is only to serve God continuously without aspiring for any fruit including bliss, the point of disposal of God after getting the clue does not arise at all in your case. If you were aiming for bliss at any time before getting the clue, the clue will not be given by God. Even if you happen to know this clue from some human preachers or from the divine knowledge directly, the clue will not work at all. Even after getting the clue from God, if your aim turns towards bliss, this clue shall not work from that moment. Even after the application of this clue and the subsequent attainment of bliss for some time, if your aim turns towards the bliss, the clue stops functioning from that time onwards. I am clearly stressing on this point, which is very important, because the diversion towards bliss is inevitable to the human psychology at any time, which is the only possible poison. One should be aware of this point continuously. You have to enjoy the bliss in the state of God, which is granted to you by the grace of God, feeling that you are enjoying the bliss since that is the wish of God. By following His wish, God gets pleased. Only for such pleasure of God are you enjoying bliss and your aim is not the bliss at anytime. For any action (Karma), for any sacrifice (Tyaga) and for any enjoyment (Bhoga) from your side, the basis should only be the wish and pleasure of God. Therefore, if your aim is always to give bliss to God and not to enjoy the bliss, God will just be a mirror reflection of your attitude. Then His aim will not be to enjoy bliss but to give you bliss and for the fulfillment of this wish of God, God will not mind transferring all your sins on to Him and getting you relieved from the punishments (if you are unable to enjoy your own punishments in the initial stage. In course of time you may become capable of enjoying the misery in the world and derive bliss from it).
