Question: How can one imagine eternal pleasure?

Answer: From the Creator, we receive desires and fulfillments. Desires are felt as hunger and suffering, while pleasures are felt as the attainment of perfection precisely to the extent of the desire for it.

In our everyday life, we cannot receive continuous fulfillment because desires and fulfillments are not revealed in us simultaneously. But if a person correctly prepares himself to receive fulfillment with an intention to bestow, he receives the desire from the Creator simultaneously with the fulfillment. This is similar to someone who eats food and feels an undiminished sense of hunger together with an unceasing sense of satiation. And so it is in all of one’s desires.
