Everything Like Foam In The Waters of Bliss

Master: 

Of the happiness enjoyed by the sole sovereign of the world, the earthly gandharvas and celestial gandharvas, the brilliant piris, the gods existing from creation, the later gods and celestial chiefs, Indra, Brhaspati, Prajapati or Hiranyagarbha, each is a hundred times as great as the preceding one. Yet all are fragmentary and like froth and foam in the waters of the deluge of brahmananda.

Whosoever remains in the turiyatita state, the seventh (and the highest) plane, his experience of Consciousness-Bliss is the same as that of Narada, Suka, Shiva, Vishnu, brahma and such others, free from duality or sleep. May the dust of his holy feet settle on my (humble) head!

So far I have now told you of five kinds of ananda; I shall later describe the bliss of knowledge; I have already described the bliss of the Self as the dearest of all and the bliss of the non-dualist Self while explaining maya and sat-chit-ananda. O Son free from the pairs of opposites! Tell me, have you any more doubts?
