Experience bliss
Bliss is continuously happening within you, without a gap of time and space. As long as you associate your bliss with a particular time or a particular space, you will lose the bliss. The gap between sufferings becomes bliss for you, like how you think the gap between two wars is peace. If you associate pleasure with a particular SPACE, say a fantasy home, you feel happy. Or, you associate happiness with an object such as a car or a person who you love, and you feel happy. You crave to be around that space, object or person. But the moment your unconscious feels that association with one person or thing brings you happiness, it initiates a feeling of dislike and hatred towards that person or thing. Possession over that person starts, and possession is nothing but revenge, by trying to own the object or human being. You reduce energy to matter; you reduce that person to matter. Whenever you try to keep someone around you, and therefore under you, your mind moves towards hatred. Your unconsciousness knows that you are getting yourself bound by attachment and desire, and takes revenge.

Associating bliss with TIME leads to suffering. When you try to bring back some previous time when you felt happiness in order to experience the same happiness, you find that the happiness is no longer the same. The joy is lacking. After a few attempts of being unsuccessful, you feel depressed and sick. You don't feel the energy of happiness.
When you understand that happiness does not depend on TIME and SPACE, you enter the zone of Quantum Bliss. When you associate happiness with time and space, you stay within boundaries of suffering.
Let us say, you have a great desire to eat a sweet. When you eat that sweet, you feel joy. If you associate that feeling of joy with that sweet, you wish to eat more of that sweet. If you keep eating more and more of it, at one point in time, after a few sweets, you feel revulsion not joy, you cannot eat any more. So understand: your joy is not because of the sweet.
What happens is, when you feel that you are enjoying an object, the moment that object is near you, the number of thoughts in your mind reduces, and a feeling of peace and joy expresses. This feeling, due to the reduced thoughts in YOUR mind, which is the subject, you associate with the object, which is the sweet. Whenever the frequency of thoughts comes down, you experience bliss. Yoga sutra says, you never experience joy because of something outside; your prana - vital life sustaining energy - reaches a rhythm that gives you joy. When you reproduce this state of prana, you feel joy.
