Once man is free from undue attachment to the body, he is liberated also from the dualities of joy and grief, good and bad, pleasure and pain, etc. He is firmly established in equanimity, fortitude, undisturbed peace. Then, man discovers that world is one in God; that all is joy, love and bliss. He realizes that he himself is all this apparent worlds, that all the multifarious manifestations are the projections of the Divine will, which is his own reality. This expansion of individuality is the highest goal of man. It gives supreme Ananda (Bliss) an experience for which sages and saints spend years in prayer and penance.
