In plain words
The infinite bliss of Brahman can be understood by tracing its reflections in our world. Every drop of joy we experience in daily life is nothing but a tiny particle of that supreme, absolute bliss. When our true, self-luminous nature is veiled by ignorance, this single source of joy is refracted through different minds—from the creator Brahma down to the humblest creature—according to their past karma, their level of understanding, and their contact with sensory objects. Experienced this way, it seems fleeting and unstable, and we call it worldly pleasure. Yet, as ignorance, desire, and selfish action are gradually dissolved, this very same bliss shines forth with ever-greater clarity. In successive realms of existence—from humans to celestial Gandharvas—it multiplies a hundredfold at each step, directly felt by the desireless sage who rests in the truth of the scriptures, culminating in the vast, cosmic joy of Hiranyagarbha.
Close to the Sanskrit
Bliss can be comprehended step-by-step. Even worldly bliss is only a fraction of the bliss of Brahman. When knowledge is obscured by ignorance, and as ignorance increases, this bliss is experienced by beings starting from Brahma downwards, according to their past actions, their understanding, and their contact with external objects of enjoyment. Thus experienced in the world, it becomes unstable and is known as worldly pleasure. That very same bliss, when ignorance, desire, and action are reduced, is directly experienced in successive higher planes—such as those of humans, Gandharvas, and so forth—by the desireless sage who is well-versed in the scriptures, multiplying a hundredfold at each step, up to the bliss of Hiranyagarbha.
