Bliss, ecstasy, and divine love - What is the difference between bliss and ecstasy? Bliss means : "complete happiness, heaven, paradise."
Ecstasy means: "overwhelming rapturous delight."
Bliss is associated with the "pure bliss consciousness" we experience
in meditation and gradually more and more in our daily life as we
continue to meditate.
Ecstasy, on the other hand, is an undoing. Meaning, we get lost in a
reverie of pleasure. "Overwhelming rapturous delight" is a good a
description for it. Where does ecstasy come from? While bliss
emanates from our consciousness, ecstasy arises in our body. Ecstasy
is the result of prana ravishing us in delicious ways.
