Three major descriptions – three great passages of finest poetry, namely , the nature of bliss, the nature of joy (bliss in its outer expression), and the nature of life, all combine together to take the narrative to its climacteric stage of love, which conquers all, death included. A realization of the universal nature of bliss, the wonder – working of “All is itself, all is new – felt in God” (10.3.425) is the right road to
