Bliss of Self is experienced when mind is dormant in deep sleep or comma , listening to beautiful music or samadhi. This is a temporary state. Mind will spring back bringing back thoughts and stress. Mano Laya is temporary bliss.
Sri Ramana Maharshi speaks of Mano Nasha – destruction of mind.
In reality destruction of mind/ego is not possible since mind/ego is unreal (mithya). If someone sees a snake on the rope due to illusion, can he destroy/get rid of illusory snake ?
Only solution is to remove illusory nature of snake and not try to remove/destroy snake.
Similarly mind/ego being non-real (mithya) any attempt to remove/destroy/stop mind is futile. Mind has to be realized as unreal. Destruction of ignorance that mind is real is called mano Nasha.
