A description of the experience
Svetasvatara Upanishad
There are two birds, two sweet friends, who dwell on the self same tree.
The one eats the fruits thereof, and the other looks on in silence
The first is the human soul who, resting on that tree, though active, feels sad in his unwisdom
But on beholding the power and the glory of the higher Spirit, he becomes free from sorrow
