Ecstasy is the greatest happiness, the greatest bliss. A person always thinks, "I am this which I see; this small amount of flesh and blood, bones and skin is I." By ecstasy the consciousness is freed from this body, from this confinement; it experiences its true existence above all sorrow, pain and trouble. That is the greatest joy. To experience it, and to keep control of the body and the senses through which we experience all the life of this world - that is to have balance. That is the highest state.
