Only by following the path of love can you experience bliss. Just as you cannot appease your hunger by merely enumerating the names of the dishes, so do you have to speak sweet words and do sacred actions. Only thus will you enjoy life’s sweetness and be happy. You are all children of immortality and embodiments of bliss (Ananda). It is because you have emerged from bliss that you seek to return to that Source, the bliss. Just as fish born in water cannot live out of water, so does man always crave for happiness, wherever he is and in whatever he does. Man is restless until he returns to the Bliss from whence he emerged. True bliss is not found in this world. Keep your mind always on God – only then will you have peace and happiness.
