As is space, so is the supreme Self. It is present everywhere.

Even that which looks solid, has space; example a log of wood. Just as objects and beings exist in space, so does this entire world of forms exists in that singular supreme Self.

To realise the true Self, is to be in bliss. When everything is removed/destroyed and in the end, the one that cannot be removed/destroyed is essence. The essence of the Self is Bliss.

There is difference between being in bliss and being happy. The very thing that gave one happiness would also bring sadness. It’s like two sides of a coin. Event that happened in illusion, gives happiness to the illusion ( the mind). Where as Bliss is neutral.

Once true nature of the real Self is realised experientially, that “I am the embodiment of bliss,” the seeking of happiness in outside world comes to an end. Worldly pleasure is conditional. It is limited. It is invariably short-lived.Where as, the bliss of the pure Self is totally unconditional and boundless.

The essence of the Atman is bliss. It is eternal. It exists only in the real Self. Outer world will give nothing but pain. The sooner one realises this, the sooner one would stop chasing the fleeting pleasures of the external world.

I am not the body, I am not the mind, I am not the intellect, I am not a Jiva. I am the pure Self, the “Atman.”
