Bondage
means what? It means getting bound by the world, and the attractions
in it. OK, one has snapped the ties of worldly bondage by
doing Karma and not claiming any reward; one has renounced
Karmaphalam. So what? Well, once one has broken the
bondage, one becomes eligible for unalloyed Bliss. Bliss is
quite unlike worldly pleasure. Whereas worldly pleasure always
comes bundled with pain [because it is a part and parcel of
the dual world], Bliss being Divine, is Non-dual; it has no
opposite. The opposite of pleasure is pain. The opposite exists
because pleasure is a part of the dual world. Bliss, on the
other hand, belongs to the Non-dual world of God. It has no
opposite. It is pure and unalloyed. Therefore, there is no
question of pain ever coming behind Bliss.
