Pratham Mahatma Prakriti Gyaan Ravi Tahaan Prakaase.
Dooje Brahm Prakaash Koti Suraj Sam Bhaase.
Teeje Pankaj Naabhi Rama Vaikuntha Nivaasi.
Chauthe Dasarath Suvan Raam Gopur Ke Vaasi.
Paanch Braj Ke Gop Nand Aadik Sab Gopi.
Chhathe Sakhi Samaaj Kare Leela Ram Opi.
Bhagvat Satae Aavaran Karahi Keli Radha Khan.

- Shri Bhagwat Rasik, Bhagwat Rasik Ki Vani, AnanyaNishchayatma Granth - Purvardh (45)

In the following verse, Shri Bhagwat Rasik describes the seven stages of bliss:
1st Step: Just as the sun's rays dispel darkness, inner knowledge eradicates ignorance.
2nd Step: Brahm Prakash, where enlightened souls see the divine presence in everything, akin to countless suns shining.
3rd Step: The bliss of Vaikunth, the abode of Sri Lakshmi and Vishnu.
4th Step: The bliss of Saket, the residence of Sri Ram.
5th Step: The bliss of Braj, the abode of Krishna, Gopis, and Nand.
6th Step: The bliss of Krishna's Raaslila with the Gopis.
7th Step: The highest bliss, Nikunj Leela, is the dwelling of Priya Pritam, as prescribed by Swami Shri Haridas and other Rasik saints of Vrindavan. This bliss is also known as "Nitya Vihar," the eternal and uninterrupted love play of Yugal Sarkar with their beloved sakhis in Vrindavan Dham, where they are never separated, not even for a moment.
