'He took 6 years to find bliss, you can get it on coming weekend, don't miss the bliss', this was an advertisement of holiday homes at Lonavala which I saw on big billboard(there was the photo of Buddha depicting he took 6 years to find bliss). What not people do to get bliss and advertising companies also falsely promises such bliss. They go to movies, theme parks, adventures and amusement parks etc. but still that doesn't give us fullest pleasure which we are seeking for. Bliss not available in market or online shops or in holiday homes...actually we are missing the real bliss and running after imaginary bliss like mirage in desert.
Everyone is searching for bliss but don't know where to find the real bliss? Basically it's soul's nature to be in bliss always, but when it comes to material world and gets covered with the body of five elements he starts thinking that I am this body and tries to gratify his senses and mind to be blissful because of misidentification with body. Actually we are not these bodies made up of blood, bones, skin etc. but we are eternal soul, part and parcel of God, this body is just temporary covering which soul will give up when it's gets old and will accept new body(reincarnation). One more disadvantage of bodily pleasure is it's temporary just like body.
Actually bliss is present but we need to understand where it is...scriptures says soul gets in bliss when he is in contact with super soul(God) just like child is happy in the arms of mother. The special privilege of this age is that God appears in His name and when we chant His name we are in direct contact with Lord. Because God is absolute His name, pastimes, form and qualities are non different from Him. Yugavataar Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has personally introduce the method of chanting the Holy names of God just 500 years before in Mayapur, West Bengal and predicted every town and village will be introduced to this chanting of holy names. He explains in His teachings(Siksastakam) that, God has induced all his powers in holy name and whoever chants holy name with humility he realises the transcended bliss, He says,"Anandambudhi-vardhanam- “The chanting of Hare Krishna expands the ocean of transcendental bliss". Pleasure found in anything of this material world is like drop in front of nectarine ocean of holy name.
Yes, he took 6 years to realise the bliss but you can realise the bliss in 6 minutes(it takes approximately 6 mins to complete one round of holy name) If you chant sincerely. So let's not try find bliss anywhere else but know that it's available easily in holy names as proclaimed and experienced by all saints and scriptures of the world!!
