TOP MOST PLEASURE.

Temporary Body vs Eternal Soul Pleasure or Bliss.

Every living entities like to remain happy & joyful dose not wants to be in distress. Ancient Scriptures Bhagavad-Gita highlights on happiness ( they are external & internal ). External happiness is due to senses objects like eating 🍦 , watching 🎥 , playing games... experienced through our senses & mind described as bodily pleasure. Everyone is trying to enjoy bodily pleasure according to their body design and capacity.

In general bodily pleases are short-lived. People dream and work hard for years to get those pleasures, their consciousness completely absorbs into it. The more pleasures we try to pursue through the body the more our consciousness absorbs in it create material bondage and mental distress. People have cravings for more but eventually our body get exhausted and can't keep it up. With ageing body deteriorates and every material pleasure diminish with it and finally finish with death.

Bg 5.22 — An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery, which are due to contact with the material senses. O son of Kuntī, such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does not delight in them. (vedabase.com).

Gita gives less important to bodily pleasure and cautions us that bodily pleasures are the sources of misery. It explains that at core level we are eternal Soul not a physical body and give more stress on our everlasting pleasure or internal happiness experience through our Soul.

Gita wisdom reveals a pathway of everlasting happiness or Bliss is based on connecting our eternal minute soul with the whole the all-attractive Supreme soul. Once we link with Absolute Truth or Supreme through spiritual practices ( Bhakti Yoga) we progress towards the supreme spiritual happiness that last forever beyond our bodily limitation.

We can make this connection with supreme without quitting anything in our life. We can continue our normal day to day life and our occupation.  

EVERYONE OF US HAVE THIS HIDDEN TREASURE BOX.
