“The whole life span of a human being is a bliss. He may suffer from disease, sorrow and hazards, but still on what basis he survives? He survives on hopes. What is that hope? A hope of bliss though he cannot conceive it. He may be perpetually ailing, but he does not know that he is aiming at a bliss. In any stage of life, in any condition of life, he survives with bliss.
