Blissfulness is the core of each one of our being. We cannot dispute that. Whatever we do is either for it or because of it.
We try to do various things to get to that blissful state. Some of our acts give us that state temporarily and some give us grief as those fail to take us to that state. But whatever it is, we mostly try to reach that state through our projection of thoughts. It’s like we are continuously trying to reach out to something. In doing that, we forget our core state of being. In reaching out, we forget to just be. In trying to reach out for blissfulness we miss out on the presence which is all blissful in itself.2)?
Time and thoughts are very intricately entangled. They can’t exist without each other.
The mind generates thoughts in relation to something which has happened in the past or something which is yet to happen. The only time in which it is not generating anything is the present. This present is also the moment which doesn’t account time in it’s limited sense.
That is why the reach of these two concepts was/are/will always be limited.
There is no such concept as time in eternity, neither can you think about (rather size up) Eternity as it can’t be framed in the mental space or consciousness as we know it.
Om Shanti….?
