Gadhada Last Section Vach. 39 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika

In comparison to that God, what would be the significance of a soul who exists in those cosmoses? It is nothing; absolutely insignificant. Within those cosmoses, God has imparted the pleasures of the five sensations to souls. What are those pleasures like? Many have given their lives in order to attain those pleasures. They seem so extremely rare to such individuals. However, the bliss inherent within the Lord’s Murti and within His abode is far superior. The pleasures of the worldly sensations are dependent on other objects and are experienced separately. God is the source of absolutely all pleasures. The pleasures related to God are indestructible and immensely extraordinary. Consider the example of an extremely rich gruhasth. He eats many different types of lavish foods. From his meal, he may give a small leftover piece of bread to a dog. That leftover is considered to be extremely inferior; what he ate is considered to be a great delicacy. Similarly, God has given the pleasures of the five sensations to innumerable souls who exist in the various cosmoses, but they are all completely insignificant, just like the leftover bread given to the dog. The bliss that exists within God is immensely superior. God bestows great pleasure to a soul during the deep sleep (sushupti) state. Regardless of the pain that someone may endure, when he enters the deep sleep state, he becomes contented.
