You/we ARE the cup of bliss (the jiva) made in the image of God, "pure happiness",.... once that cup becomes the 'PITCHER' of bliss, it's like GC, (the over-soul of Emerson) or the experience of the bliss God (Love) of the entire created universe; beyond that, once the pitcher breaks!,.... you are the unbounded bliss, (aham brahmasmi) beyond the imagination, eternal!
"Within it' and 'without' it' are just expressions, and like any other expressions about Brahman they do justice neither to Brahman nor to the speaker nor to the listener." MMY Gita VIvs28
