Q: If I am Consciousness and bliss is the nature of consciousness, why don't I always feel bliss?
A:
Unfortunately, a rose itself cannot appreciate its beauty and
fragrance. Yes, you are Consciousness and bliss is your inherent nature,
but you as pure Consciousness feel nothing. But, you as person are
sometimes happy, sometimes sad etc. Actually, it is your mind that
becomes happy, sad etc. The reason why your mind does not always feel
bliss is due to your conditioning, your latent tendencies, your hidden
desires etc. together called causal body* acting as a veil. For analogy
sake, think of the real you - Consciousness - as Sun. Then, sunlight is
analogous to bliss. Think of your mind as the surface of the earth. Now
imagine clouds between the Sun and earth. If clouds are clear, surface
of the earth receives sunlight otherwise it does not. Likewise, whenever
veil of causal body is removed your mind experiences bliss, otherwise
it does not.
*The word body is not to be taken literally.
