Q: Yesterday, in my meditation, I found myself in the midst of the most glorious feeling! Waves of bliss washed over me and I expanded -- becoming truly one with the world.
A: Is that feeling there, right now?
Q: Um, no, not really! But the memory is still there... and I feel truly ennobled, merely thinking about it. What does this indicate?
A: That which comes and goes, however "ennobling", is still not the Truth. The glimpse of the Self, as the attribute-less Absolute, is very rare. Every experience is an interpretation of this Reality, exactly as the entire phenomenal world is... albeit arguably closer to Reality, in this case. Exactly as is the case with everything in the mind, this could indicate several things -- some apparently desirable and some, apparently undesirable. In some cases, it could lead to the entity (Jiva) searching for a repeat of the same experience for the rest of the phenomenal existence in that body. In certain others, it could herald the desire for freedom (mumukshutvam), leading to eventual freedom (moksham.)
Simply be, and await the descent of Grace upon yourself... and you can't go wrong!
