Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Open Court, Vol. 49: Devoted to the Science of Religion, the Religion of Science, and the Extension of the Religious Parliament Idea, January, 1935

Freedom and bliss are very closely related, as will be seen by a consideration of the nature of bliss. Bliss is not pleasure. Pleasure and pain are experienced through the relation of jive to something other than itself. Pain may come through its association with a physical organism or body. Pleasure may be obtained by means of the physical organs, as hearing a musical symphony or tasting nice foods. Pleasure and pain being themselves simply accompaniments of particular transient experiences are temporary and impermanent. Pleasure depending on external conditions cannot be the ultimate good of a free spiritual being, the good of which to be entirely with in its own power must be within itself.
