Profound mystical experiences are valuable..they strengthen our faith in the divine and our own innate divinity, they reveal to us that there is a common denominator in and thru all of the variety of life that we are confronted with. They may come to us as the experience of infinite peace, love and joy ...expressions of our innate fullness.
Yet as Vedanta points out, don't get bound to 'experience' seeking, because experiences come and go ...they are drshyam (objects of our knowledge), anityam (temporary), mithya ( dependent on the presence of consciousness to illumine them).
Rather our attitude is of simple acceptance of all that life puts before us, knowing that all experiences are expressions of Ishvara ...the universal cosmic consciousness expressing as life...and so we simply allow this vision to bring in more and more acceptance into our life.
Acceptance is 'prasada buddhi' and it is not merely being pragmatic...it is born of recognition of the all-pervasiveness of Ishvara as the efficient and material cause of all that is. And in the wake of acceptance of life in its myriad forms, there is peace, contentment, and joy and recognition of the changeless reality that illumines and enlivens and expresses by its own power as all of life.
