Sense of wonder is perquisite for bliss

Nov 26 aft
Did my afternoon Shoonya, a knockout.
Yesterday night too. These days with correct Samyama, twice a day plus longer Breathe meditation, Shoonya has deepens since my Samyama sadhana.
Sadhguru says Shoonya is the base of Samyama. Perhaps everything link together.

Saw from Facebook that friends with benefits should not exceed 3 months cos feelings developed thereafter.

Soul
Yea, we lasted one and half year. I recalled I wanted a three months limit but things prolonged. Never mind, it's over. New beginning is coming.

Today told the insurance agent that I m not keen to listen to her talk on insurance plan. I don't want to waste her time and neither do I want to waste mine. The old me would at least meet but still says no. The new me says no at the onset now.

Adhyatma Upanishad
There is a lack of sense of wonder. Our capacity to wonder has declined. Science has opened up many mysteries  for us. And with every mystery decoded, it is not only that the mysteries become fewer, but also that our capacity to wonder become less.
A child sees everything with wonder. Why? Because he if still ignorant, he does not know anything. Now that science has made so many things known, u have a feeling that u know this, that and the other, and this has reduced ur sense of wonder. In order to arouse, in order to maintain ur sense of wonder, u will need to go very deep into science - there is no other way.

When everything has been defined and given a meaning, our sense of wonder declines. And when this sense of wonder is lessened, the possibility of our being religious disappears. Religion is a mystery, the ultimate mystery, it is the supreme wonder. The greatest miracle that can happen in this planet is to become religious.

The first statement is wonder. The second statement is of bliss. The bliss hides behind the wonder. One who has lost his sense of wonder will never be able to attain bliss, because wonder is the door to bliss. He whose door of wonder is closed will not be able to enter the place of bliss.

Soul
Well, wonder is in me. I have the childlike delight still despite at mid fourties.  That's make me look much younger than my age.
