The mystic approach toward life is the search for ultimate bliss. It has no concern with God as such, directly. Of course God comes into the experience of the mystic, but his search is for bliss. When he finds bliss, he finds God too, as the other side of the coin. Hence mysticism has no […]
The only evolution worth calling evolution is the evolution of bliss. If bliss is not growing, you are not evolving. If bliss is not growing, the society is not evolving. In fact, what people generally understand by evolution and progress is sheer nonsense. More and more complicated technology does not mean evolution. It is so […]
People think that they fall in love because somebody is beautiful or something is beautiful.
