Panchadashi 1.12

Among a group of students that is chanting, a father both hears and does not hear his son's voice chanting. Similarly, bliss is known and also not known. Due to some obstruction, the experience is blocked, and the above mentioned point makes sense.

Among a group of students that is chanting, a father hears the general sound of his son's voice chanting, but cannot hear the specific voice of his son chanting and say "this is my son's voice". Similarly, though the general experience of bliss remains, it is not experienced specifically. This happens because of an obstruction (described in the next verse). It allows the general experience of "I am" of the self, but it remains not experienced in its specific form (that I am existence consciousness bliss).
