Who Am I? When the truth emerges as Ananda (Bliss Absolute), all the reaching for someone or something outside of Self begins to die. The seeking for fulfilment through means of enjoyment becomes unnecessary. The Ultimate Bliss has been awakened.

If any of them had chosen to look out of the window at that moment, they would have been startled by the sight of Ford Prefect dropping past them to his certain death and flipping the finger at them.

Nation, ch. 4 “Bargains, Covenants and Promises” (2009)
