Acharya Prashant explains that bliss is not something that comes and goes; rather, it is a state of being. He clarifies that if something arrives and departs, it cannot be considered the ultimate truth. He emphasizes that in the state of true bliss, the individual 'I' or the ego does not exist to register or observe it. If one is aware of being blissful, it is merely a temporary state of pleasure or happiness, which is distinct from bliss. While both happiness and bliss involve the absence of suffering, happiness is always intertwined with suffering—existing before, after, and even within it. Bliss, however, is like the vast sky that remains unaffected by the passing clouds of joy or sorrow. He further addresses the misconception of 'attaining' bliss, stating that bliss is not an experience to be gained but a state of being untouched by all experiences. He critiques those who approach spirituality with a transactional mindset, seeking guarantees or demonstrations before committing. Acharya Prashant asserts that spirituality is for those with love, not for those burdened by fearful questions about the future. He explains that the questions a person asks from a state of ignorance become irrelevant once they progress. Samadhi, or the ultimate state of equanimity, is not the answer to one's questions but the dissolution of the questions themselves. He concludes that spirituality is a matter of the heart, not a calculated intellectual decision.
