Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Reference<br> Taittirīya Upaniṣad: "ānando brahmeti vyajānāt" (he knew Brahman is bliss). **Interpretation<br> Ānanda means bliss, supreme joy beyond all pleasure and pain. Viṣṇu is not just blissful but IS bliss itself. **Mythological Story<br> The Taittirīya Upaniṣad teaches about layers of ānanda (bliss): imagine the happiest young person - healthy, wealthy, learned, strong - enjoying perfect life. That's one unit of human ānanda. The bliss of human-gandharvas is 100 times that. The bliss of divine-gandharvas is 100 times that. This progression continues through devas, Indra, Bṛhaspati, Prajāpati, Brahmā - each 100 times more blissful. Finally: "All these ānandas together are one tiny drop of Brahman's ānanda (Viṣṇu's bliss)." This mathematical progression shows: all happiness we experience - from eating favorite food to achieving life goals - is infinitesimally small compared to the ānanda which is Viṣṇu Himself. When Yājñavalkya told his wife Maitreyī: "Not for husband's sake is husband dear, but for ātman's (self's) sake" - he meant: we seek relationships, wealth, fame thinking they'll bring happiness, but actually we're seeking the ānanda which is our true self (Viṣṇu). For devotees, realizing Viṣṇu AS ānanda means: stop chasing finite pleasures; merge with infinite bliss.
