Realizing one's interconnectedness with existence, rather than viewing oneself as a separate individual, leads to a profound sense of ease and bliss. Individuality is a product of experiences and is not absolute; clinging to this illusion can result in suffering. By acknowledging our oneness with the universe, we can transform our lives and experience a more harmonious existence.
