[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 149273, member: 2709"] Great question Harry ji!! I'm sure you've felt it, or something like it, cos you have the itch!! peacesignkaur Way past bed time but super quickly... this is a hard question because it's very subjective - is what one person feels the same as what someone else feels? And our only point of reference to describe these feelings is also subjective! I would say I have three main states of being these days: 1) the worst state is feeling no connection. Drives me mad, makes me feel adrift, I can't focus, can't find peace in ANYTHING. 2) the second feeling is my primary state these days but I'm still working out the bugs... it's a feeling within my body which is... inspiring... I wouldn't call it peaceful as such it's more like a warmth... like having a blanket on the inside... (maybe I have a fever? haha)... it's like knowing someone's got you covered, got your back, is looking out for you... it's a comfort... a contented state... a satisfaction... I haven't mastered the art of staying in this state, but sometimes it's very profound, like when I lost my father-in-law just over a year ago... part of me (the smaller part?) was upset and grieving for the loss but the overwhelming feeling was of this stability and warmth. Part of me said "are you heartless??" but no, I could feel the heart part, but the warm part was bigger. On the flip side, certain little things will tip me right back to mode 1, like reading about violence against women, or screwing up a job my boss gave me (I have a real nice boss... it would be easier to screw up if he was nasty!). 3) this is the bliss snap-shots. They don't last very long. The longest they last is a few moments at best when I'm totally engrossed in some Gurbani, or a moment is just right, like when you catch a sunset and you realise how small you are in the universe.... When the Gurbani just strikes those major chords inside and everything is crystal clear for an instant and you feel like you could just explode with love and expansion and clarity and awesomeness. I never got this feeling when intoxicated. I wish it would last longer!! But you have to be careful you don't set yourself up with expectations... the bliss can't become the goal, you can't feel disappointed or as if you've failed if you don't get that feeling, because that's not the point.
