The Soul’s House of Bliss
by Paramhansa Yogananda,
Inner Culture, 1936
He 
who listens to the advice of Jesus Christ, and lives it, is settled in
the home of lasting Bliss, founded on the rock of eternally intuitive
wisdom. Such a wise man’s spiritual bliss is never destroyed by the
rain of difficult spiritual trials, or by the advent of the flood of accumulated
sorrowful events, or by the mighty wind of death. The soul’s house
of bliss, built on the lofty rock of meditative intuition, can outlast
all the rain of trials, floods of miseries, and even the storm of death.
The bliss acquired by meditation becomes a permanent mansion of the soul,
which not even the most dreaded death can destroy.
The Bhagavad Gita says, “Not even the direst suffering can shake the equanimity of the wise man. He stands unshaken amidst the crash of breaking worlds.” So, do not establish your happiness on the temporal pleasures of life, for it will soon be blown away by the trials of life, but instead, found your happiness in God as perceived in meditation, and your joy will be everlasting.
