The concept referred here is central to many Hindu
spiritual traditions and philosophies. In Hinduism, the ultimate goal of human
life is often described as Moksha, which is liberation from the cycle of birth,
death, and rebirth (samsara) and union with the divine, or realization of one's
true nature, often referred to as Brahman or God.
When a person's mind realizes God or experiences union with
the divine, it is said to be in a state of permanent bliss or contentment. This
realization is often described as a profound spiritual awakening where one
recognizes the interconnectedness of all things and experiences a deep sense of
peace and fulfillment. In this state, desires for worldly things diminish
because the individual recognizes that ultimate fulfillment lies beyond the
material world.
Hindu saints and spiritual teachers often emphasize the
importance of spiritual practice (such as meditation, prayer, and self-inquiry)
in achieving this realization. Through dedicated practice and purification of
the mind and heart, individuals can gradually remove the veils of ignorance
(avidya) that obscure their true nature and experience the divine within
themselves.
Once the mind is firmly established in this realization, it
is said to be free from the fluctuations of desire and attachment that
characterize ordinary human existence. Instead, it remains absorbed in the
contemplation of God or the divine, leading to a state of lasting peace, joy,
and contentment.
This teaching is not unique to Hinduism but is also found in
various forms in other spiritual traditions around the world, each with its own
terminology and practices aimed at achieving union with the divine or
enlightenment.
