The understanding we have about Life is a misconception; an abstraction that cloaks the underlying truth of our own existency. Life is not just Life; Life is Love (or blissfulness) experiencing/reveling itself for the Self is Love itself. Words can only elude to the truth but perhaps we can use such Sanskrit wordings as Satchitananda (Sanskrit: рд╕рдЪ्рдЪिрджाрдирди्рдж) and ─Аtma Prema (Sanskrit: рдЖрдд्рдордк्рд░ेрдо) for ─Аtma/─Аtman (Sanskrit: рдЖрдд्рдоा, рдЖрдд्рдорди्) is literally Self/God while Prema (Sanskrit: рдк्рд░ेрдо) is literally Love; the essence of existence is thus Self-Love. We are not figuratively but literally (the embodiment of) Love (Sanskrit: рдк्рд░ेрдордоूрд░्рддि).
