Ecstasy is a natural experience, not an unusual one, of feeling all of the living matrix of existence around us.

Loneliness is a feeling that is created by our ego. The ego feels separate from the rest of creation.

Nirvana is a state of perpetual bliss and ecstasy, unaffected by the transient ups and downs of its own creations.
