For when delusion is gone and the truth is realised by means of enquiry into self-nature, when the mind is at peace and the heart leaps to the supreme truth, when all the disturbing thought-waves in the mind-stuff have subsided and there is unbroken flow of peace and the heart is filled with the bliss of the absolute, when thus the truth has been seen in the heart, then this very world becomes an abode of bliss.

Brahma is also described as the presiding deity or governor of a special plane, or heaven, known as Brahmaloka, the plane of Brahma. This is the most exalted realm in the entire universe and may be compared, in a general way, to the heaven of dualistic religions, Those fortunate mortals who, while living on earth, worship Saguna Brahman with whole-souled devotion, meditating on their identity with Him, proceed after death to Brahmaloka, where they dwell absorbed in contemplation of Saguna Brahman. There they experience uninterrupted peace and blessedness and take part in the cosmic life of Brahma. Source: Swami Nikhilananda – The Principal Upanishads

The most secret of secrets, it should be guarded with great effort. I will now tell it directly to you who speak of brahman, so full of devotion.
