The Quest for Bliss
Have you ever wondered about the state of bliss? What exactly is this profound feeling of being blissful? It’s the sensation of unity with the Universe—a feeling of deep joy and contentment that transcends everyday happiness.
Everyday Happiness vs. Spiritual Bliss
Everyday pleasures—such as obtaining a degree, landing a new job, celebrating a marriage, welcoming children, or acquiring new possessions like cars, homes, dresses, or jewelry—bring us happiness. These material and social milestones, while fulfilling, are tied to conditions. Once these conditions are met, we experience joy. But what if I told you that through basic spiritual practices, you could reach a state of life where joy could be experienced anytime and anywhere, without reliance on material or conditional events?
Experiencing Pure Bliss
This is what is termed as spiritual bliss. In this state, any act of kindness, no matter how small or where it occurs, fills the heart with immense joy. Witnessing such acts of kindness connects us so deeply with the love of God that our hearts overflow with ecstasy and we may even experience cascades of goosebumps.
This form of joy arises naturally and cannot be forced. Once you feel at one with the divine, you will be able to experience this state of bliss regularly. Your perception of kindness will expand, not just to acts of kindness but also to the little things in nature—how every being, living or non-living, is kind simply by existing.
The Oneness of Bliss
When we align ourselves with our soul’s essence, we tap into the universal joy that permeates every aspect of existence. In this transcendent state, every moment of happiness and gratitude felt by anyone becomes a shared experience. This collective joy amplifies within us, making our own moments of happiness not just our own but part of a grand, jubilant chorus that echoes across the cosmos. Such is the overwhelming joy of spiritual bliss experienced after a true spiritual awakening. It is a profound realization that we are not isolated beings but interconnected threads of a larger tapestry, each capable of influencing and experiencing the Universe’s boundless joy.
Mindfulness in Daily Life
Interestingly, my connection to the divine was not forged through traditional meditation. Instead, it was revealed to me through a sort of divine showreel—a reflective look at my lifestyle, which unknowingly facilitated a deep meditative state. This profound realization came about not through deliberate practice but as a natural consequence of my daily living, which I was urged to share with others. The events of my life, shown to me during one mystical experience, are recounted in “From Mundane to Mystical,” offering readers a roadmap to spiritualization.
Here’s how you can start your own journey:
- Awareness of Daily Living: Begin by observing your everyday activities with a new mindfulness. For instance, consider how you consume a simple glass of water—are you walking, checking your phone, answering calls, standing, or sitting? These moments, often overlooked, are gateways to deeper awareness.
- Embrace the Simple Moments: Notice if your routine actions like drinking water are done mindlessly. Have these acts become so mundane that they go unnoticed? Paying attention to these simple details can integrate mindfulness into your way of living, paving the way for a deeper spiritual connection.
By embracing these steps, you invite a natural state of bliss into your life, learning to be present in every moment, thereby fostering a profound connection with the divine.

For those interested in exploring these concepts further, insights from my journey are captured in my books, including “Spirituality for You & Me,” “AI and Spirituality,” and the forthcoming “From Mundane to Mystical.” Each book is designed to make spiritual concepts accessible, providing practical guidance for integrating spirituality into daily life.
Invitation to Share
There is much more to write about this, but let’s save that for another post. For now, I invite you to share your experiences. Have you ever felt this state of spiritual bliss? If yes, how often and how has it changed your life?
