    Wisdoms Words

    Aristotle’s Eudemonia is the ultimate state of happiness that each aspiring human act strives towards, in that all man’s works are in the pursuit of happiness or to prosper and flourish. Nirvana is a spiritual enlightenment itself an ascension into the condition of being in enduring bliss.

    This state of transcendentalism literally raises the Spirit, mind and body above the earthly shackles, attachments, barriers and obstacles causing imprisonment of the human souls.

    The difference may be discerned in that the former is a temporal state of happiness. The latter a condition of enduring being one that predisposes the mind to the innate filtering elimination of any matter or actualism likely to offend the sensibility or detract from the state of nirvana.
