"Lasting, ever-new Joy is God".
-- Paramahansa Yogananda

...Bliss is not something to be got.
On the other hand you are always Bliss.
This desire [for Bliss] is born of the sense of incompleteness.
To whom is this sense of incompleteness?
Enquire. In deep sleep you were blissful.
Now you are not so.
What has interposed between that Bliss and this non-bliss?
It is the ego.
Seek its source and find you are Bliss.
--- Ramana Maharshi

"Yoga is prevention of fluctuations of the mind".
--Patanjali 1,2


Paramahansa Yogananda’s quote seems to be quite similar to the above quotes on intoxication. However is it the same as lasting Bliss ? or is this experience of intoxication one of the indications that the sadhak is on the right path.

I would be grateful if someone here can point out - how the goal of yoga sadhana stated by Patanjali paves one’s way towards Mukti or Liberation ?
