way back when i was in college had told a friend that these are two of my favourite words.....imagine my surprise when i came across these words in a book on Ramana Maharshi.....
"in rapture or ecstasy, the mind is momentarily absorbed and stilled in a fragmentary experience of the bliss that is its true nature. The very words indicate the transcending of the individuality, since 'rapture' means etymologically being carried away and 'ecstasy' standing outside oneself."
checked out the net...figuratively used
rapture.....carried away in an ecstatic trance
ecstasy.....a state of rapture that stupified the body while the soul contemplated divine things
the same two beautiful words.........
may you know rapture and ecstasy in this lifetime......
