That Supreme Bliss fully exists in all, from Brahma down to the blade of grass. You are also that undivided Brahman.
This very moment you can realise if you think yourself truly and absolutely to be so.
It is all mere want of direct perception.
That you have taken service and work so hard for the sake of your wife also shows that the aim is ultimately to attain to that Supreme Bliss of Brahman. Being again and again entangled in the intricate maze of delusion and hard hit by sorrows and afflictions, the eye will turn of itself to one's own real nature, the Inner Self.
It is owing to the presence of this desire for bliss in the heart, that man, getting hard shocks one after another, turns his eye inwards -- to his own Self. A time is sure to come to everyone, without exception, when he will do so -- to one it may be in this life, to another, after thousands of incarnations.
