The bliss state arises when the thoughts are suspended (or when the subject of those thoughts is exposed as non-existent – thus the dissolution of duality. This is jyana yoga and can be very frightening without any other grounding such as mantra, selfless service, asana etc.)
When a human locks their mind on a single object the thoughts are suspended and the natural state is entered (beyond time/space).
During physical yoga there are several objects to lock the mind to. The asana, bundas and the pranayama.
The ease with which the mind will lock to these is in direct proportion to the psychological attachments of the individual (illusory self)
Thus explains the unseen reason that some aspirants enter the state more readily than others regardless of physical flexibility.
The average person is distracted from the locks by both external and internal fluctuations.
The inner is the outer thus the best path to remove psychological attachments is not by negation but by true personal insight.
That is, when one no longer fights with that within that is seen as negative and actually looks at it without bias or prejudice.
This is true learning.
When one can look at things clearly, the false will be seen to be illusory and fall away of its own accord.
By this method only the truth will remain.
Once the mind is easily locked to the single object there will come a time when the question is asked “what is the subject to which this object is locked?”
The enquiry, if sincere, will yield no answer and thus the subject will merge with the object; the atman (singular entity in natural state) will merge with the absolute.
Pure consciousness flowing unobstructed; as god painting with infinite brushes,
this inexplicable master piece.
