ON DIFFERENT KINDS OF BLISS

Meher Baba

 
There are seven kinds of bliss:

1. The Vishvananda: this bliss is experienced by all forms, from fish to human beings.

2. The Chitananda: this is experienced by human beings alone.

3. The Yogananda: this is experienced by Yogis in the Samadhi or trance state.

4. Premananda: one who experiences this bliss is on the way to Perfection.

5. The Atmananda: one who experiences this bliss is engrossed in the Light of the Almighty; only those who are on the fifth plane can experience it.

6. The Purnananda: this bliss is experienced by those who see God at all times and in all places.

7. Brahmananda: this bliss is experienced by those who have achieved spiritual perfection.
