The highest state of Knowledge, Bliss, and Power being a state beyond imagination is a fact more emphatic, impressive, and real than the fact of your speaking with and hearing me now, and more true than your own existence at this very moment here with me. A thousand times more true is that fact of Realization than the apparent fact of your present life and existence which you believe to be true. This is hard for you human beings to accept, but to we who experience the Reality, all of this is a mere dream. And this fact is so vividly perfect, that he who has actually become one with God and experienced Him cannot describe the experience with this mouth. Words are too poor a means to give a description of this highest state. But consider the powers of one able to give this Knowledge, Bliss, and Power to others! Ap art from this, what would you think when we Perfect Ones say that we can actually play with these — the highest Knowledge, Bliss, and Power that are the attributes of Perfection or Truth? Othe Otherwise, how do you think we would be able to give experience of these to others?
How can your limited mind grasp and understand all this, for this is beyond the capability and powers of the intellect. So how can we explain that Truth? How can we explain it to your intellect which is limited and able to receive knowledge only up to a certain point? The Sadguru must take your intellect out of its present limited state and make it Unlimited. In short, he must give you a personal experience of Realization, and then you would understand it at once.
I am Prabhu [the Lord]. I am all Knowledge-Power-Bliss. You see me, talk with me and touch me, but I dwell in Infinity. My state is indescribable.
Later Baba discoursed about different states of bliss:
If the bliss of the God-realized soul is compared to a human body, then the enjoyment of yogis is like the shadow of that body; and the pleasure which a worldly man enjoys is like seeing the shadow in a reflection in a pool of water. Thus ordinary people cannot even imagine what real bliss is!
The majzoobs have mind and body, but no intellect and ego, so they enjoy Supreme Bliss completely. In yogis, besides the mind and body, there are intellect and ego so they do not enjoy perfect bliss.
