| state of ecstasy? ANSWER: In the state of ecstasy a person experiences divine forces, divine beings, or | 18 FREE WILL |
| ANSWER: Not in that way; that is false ecstasy. You have certain little and insignificant ecstasies in | 18 FREE WILL |
| anything. It is only a question of degree. Ecstasy in that sense can never be induced by | 18 FREE WILL |
| confirm the vast and tremendous difference between the ecstasy of experiencing God and anything else on earth | 18 FREE WILL |
| anything else on earth or in heaven. This ecstasy has nothing to do with imagination or the | 18 FREE WILL |
| Only through personal endeavor, development, purification can real ecstasy happen. When your higher self becomes free of | 18 FREE WILL |
