Nirvana

We lead a life of duality, mostly sad
We all seek a life full of eternal joy
Where people around are not bad
A life in which we always enjoy

Is it possible to be full of bliss
A bliss that is ceaseless never ends
Such life no one would want to miss
A joyous life without any bends

We suffer as we associate with body
We are not body, but soul internal
Once we get salvation, in  samadhi
We experience boundless bliss eternal

Then we see our true self seated within
From this body  and world we get detached
We see our soul within God, seated therein
Leaving world, to God we become attached

Then we go to the world of souls
Wherein perpetual bliss abounds
We live with God and other souls
Our true self we have finally found

Try for salvation, let it be your only aim
Don't bother about transient worldly gain
With dedication, salvation you can claim
Efforts in this direction never go vain

Truly eternal bliss is the promise for the pilgrims of this world who seek God's face as we stumble often but don't take our eye off of the prize. Lovely and profound my friend. Congratulations for your win. Blessings for your journey to bliss.

WoW! Rama, What a powerful and profound on how one could live a life of “ endless bliss.” I was moved by what you wrote. I will ponder the message after I've finished reading it. Excellent job. I'm adding this to my fav collection:-) Alexis

I think even the way we think of bliss is way off. The gentleness of the Lord who can fathom, though he judges having seen things from the beginning to the end. Bliss is not boring, though I think some are afraid it will be. I think of the times (rare) where I feel pure euphoria and I think heaven must feel like that. God bless!

I fully agree with you!. I have at rare times experienced bliss and that makes me wanting for more. I too think heaven must be like that. I want salvation and heaven,a big dream indeed!
