"When you say bliss, you have to be very careful", he says, "as normally what we call bliss, is based on our sensory experiences."
Videos | Q & A with Sri M | On Stillness
"Does being in stillness mean being blissful?" asks Sri M as he tries to broadly explain the difference.

• January 04, 2016 at 03:10 AMSwabhava is unique to each jiva/individual based on the 'guna-mix'. While Bliss is the nature of Self (Param Atma/Brahm) it is not that of its sanskaar-contaminated reflection ( jivaAtma) which is what the mind/ senses perceive. This dichotomy of the real and the perceived makes the experience of bliss as ambiguous-, even if the real nature of 'self' be one and the same. In this context how is bliss to be identified from experience of sensory stillness?

• January 04, 2016 at 03:43 PMHi Yoginder, it is a great question. I hope it is answered by Sri M as well. Meanwhile permit me to present a thought for you ponder.
Could a brain dead person or someone in coma have be called as someone who has stillness of sensory experience yet it is not bliss.
Bliss here refers to state of pure samadhi i assume, which can be experienced beyond gross sensory organs and their derived perception. 1. Non dual bliss (which means the taker and the giver of bliss are become one as bliss itself) and 2. Voidness are essence of such experience which is not and experience in worldly term but a state. This state as you said is the param atma or the complete one. we are incomplete with our gross senses bcs they arise out of ignorance and dellusion. So through ignorance it cannot be experienced or explained.
Please correct me if go wrong.
Thank you
