Every devotee hopes ultimately to experience the joy of supreme bliss as a result of their spiritual discipline. But that bliss isn’t something newly earned or acquired; it’s not a new experience to be won by spiritual discipline. It’s always with you, within you; but it can’t be tasted because of the obstacle of ego, which acts as a screen, hiding it from view. One has to tear that veil asunder. What the aspirant needs is spiritual discipline. Then, the ever-existing bliss can be cognized. It doesn’t arise anew; it’s always there. What comes and goes is the screen of “I” and “mine”, which covers the bliss. While trying to remove the screen of “I am the enjoyer” and “these things are mine”, the aspirant shouldn’t hasten frantically and worry too much if the expected bliss isn’t discovered. At such times, peace is an unfailing help. If peace is cultivated well at first, then one can succeed in any task, however difficult!
