I do long to feel endless and unfathomed bliss. But I am still a child playing at the edge of the sea of Consciousness. As children we enjoy the cool splashing of gentle waves over our toes and feet, but we are certainly not ready to take a plunge beneath the waves.
As we grow and mature we become stronger and wiser. We learn to swim and how to read the moods of the sea. When we are ready we may follow the urge to run and dive into the ocean, losing our self in the bliss of weightless motion, one with the sea. Spiritually, when we are ready, we may plunge into the sea of stillness and lose our self in the bliss of consciousness without thought.
