Our mind can actually work in four states of which we are aware of only the first two viz. Pleasure and Pain. The other two states that the mind can experience are Peace and Bliss. Pleasure is the accelerated state of our existence and pain is the aggravated state. In Peace there is neither acceleration nor aggravation. Bliss or Ecstasy is something more: in this state the knowledge expands and finds the wonders of Nature and its functions, from the atom to the Universe as a whole. Here the mind expands and enjoys the beauties of Nature and understands the primordial state of the Consciousness. This is the state of the fullness of the mind and this is also the peak, the acme, of knowledge. Such is Bliss.
