Why should the experience of bliss be transcended?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Clinging to bliss is like trapping living waters in a stagnant tank; transcend the experience to merge with the boundless ocean of the Divine, where joy flows freely and unconditionally."
According to Osho, blissful states—even those found with a true Master—are way-stations, not the goal. Clinging turns living waters into a stagnant tank. The Master is a ladder, boat, Gomukh: to be used and then left. Transcend the experience so you merge with the inexhaustible Source—the ocean of the Divine—where joy is boundless, fresh, and no longer dependent on conditions or intermediaries.
Don’t pitch a tent at a nice stream; follow it to the endless ocean it comes from.
Why this matters practically
- Keeps you from clinging to temporary highs or teachers, so growth stays alive.
- Opens access to stable, inexhaustible joy beyond circumstances.
- Prevents stagnation, dogma, and the crash when peak states fade.
