In their own nature they are blissful, for the Sucripa of the Atnuan or Self of all is Awadi or Bliss, but through May4 they forget that they are themselves the fountain and storehouse of Bliss. As the two famous verses of the Taittiriya Upanishad beautifully put it:-‘‘Bliss is Brahman from Bliss, indeed, are these beings verily born:-By bliss, when born, do they live:-Into Bliss do they, when departing, enter.' : (3. 6.). Again--He (Atman) is the Flavour. This oneindeed, having obtained Flavour becomes blessed. Who, indeed, could live who breatheshould not this Bliss be in the heart? This verily it is that bestows bliss. (2. 7.).
