Whole existence feels blissful, dances with joy and ecstasy when any individual experiences the Sublime Emptiness. It is because, this phenomenon of Sublime Emptiness is rare and the whole Existence waits for the occasion when any individual experiences that state. It is just like a mother waiting to see her son stand on the podium to win a medal in Olympics or to see her son growing & becoming successful in his career. It is not only the occasion of rejoicing for the son but also for the mother. Similarly when any individual surpasses the syndrome of mind, the whole existence rejoices. We are part of the Whole, that is the basic reason. But that emptiness has to be Sublime, Positive emptiness. You can counter many who have emptied themselves but their emptiness has come from defeat. Failure from the world is Negative emptiness. Because they are not able to cope with the worldly challenges they are now longing for the experience of Beingness. That is Negative emptiness. Negative emptiness is useless. Positive emptiness is presence of something and that something is Supreme Power. Non-Desiring Existence is Positive Emptiness. Just to be nobody is the Sublime Emptiness. Buddha’s emphasis is on Non-Self, Anatta. Simply I am not. He never talks even of the soul. Because then the ego comes. Also remember, when one tries to explain emptiness even then he moves away from emptiness. This ‘Witnesser’ also has to be erased. Only when the experiencer and the experience goes away and only the Experiencing remains, that is the state of Sublime Emptiness. Subtle can be experienced only when one is Totally Empty. And when one stops, everything around also stops and becomes endless. Showering of flowers from the heaven starts – that’s Blessings.
