Amrit Sagar - Ocean of Immortality
The journey is from the sheath of intellect to the sheath of bliss.
The Vijñānamaya Kośa is the light which is the source of every light. When it is full of that light, the Ānandamaya Kośa becomes an ocean of nectar. The individual self then exists in that supreme bliss, where all karmas are cleaned. From that blissful sheath, thoughts, words, and actions flow like clouds raining nectar. This manifests through disciplined practice of Kriyā, mantra, and Karma Yoga. Karma Yoga is essential for cleaning the inner self; no work is dirty, only thoughts are dirty. When the intellect is dipped in this nectar, the self realizes everything. There are no more desires, and wherever one goes, there is happiness. If a devotee's practice is true, there is no fear in the mind.
"Your duty is to spread that Amṛta, that immortality."
"If the devotee’s practice is true, then why is there fear in the mind?"
