The saints have found that happiness lies in a constant mental state of unruffled peace during all the experiences of earthly dualities.
A changeable mind perceives a changeable creation, and is easily disturbed; the unchangeable soul and the unruffled mind, on the other hand, behold, behind the masks of change, the Eternal Spirit.
The man whose mind is like an oscillating mirror beholds all creation as distorted into waves of change; but the man who holds his mental mirror steady beholds there naught but the reflections of the Sole Unity—God.
Through realization, not mere imagination, he sees that his body and all things are the condensed consciousness of Spirit.
The mind, free of artificial excitation, remains centered in its native state of inner peace and soul joy.
~Paramahansa Yogananda

People want to imagine this ! Why not enjoy the bliss by experience ?
But…..
Your ego says you know it
Your ego says I can do it on my own
Your body does not cooperate
Your ego does not want to surrender to a Guru
Where is the hope then?
