                    The Ecstasy by Johan Donne is a poem about define and spiritual experience in love. The pain of love and his beloved which we find in his poem has reached such a high of love. The poem is addressed by the lover who describes in detail the experience of ecstasy love.

                                                          Here the poem Donne is great idea of love and thinking of wonderfully explain that how do you love highly of nature and impress of life. Both the lover and his beloved set for the whole day on the bank of a river in the same manner as a bed as always a company of Pillow. These two images in the very opening of the poem qualify the present of poem as a metaphysical poem. Their hands are committed – they have set on the bank of river hand, though no words exchange between the two. Their four eyes became one and get tide up with an indivisible thread. Both realize an exchange of words between their souls though body doesn’t speak. The soul of both speak  the same and listen the same and so the lovers find  it difficult to realize what exactly is exchanged between the two both the knowledge that it is not love of body ,for a body. It is beloved two souls. 

                                                     Those states of Ecstasy which the lover and his beloved experience here reflect Johan Donne’s knowledge about Indian philosophy and particularly ‘THE GEETA’. Johan Donne might be familiar with philosophic ‘THE GEETA’ because the way this lover describes his experience of excitements involves the philosophy of The Geeta. The Geeta explains in the very opening that soul remains an effected and nothing can hand soul. Fire cannot born it water cannot wet it and wind cannot dry it. It is everlasting and immortal. Even this lover in the poem is soul always remains effectual and since it is love between two soul nothing would harm their love seeing the love even those people weak would realize that love can hate. The loves become a divided experience. Both have come to a STAVE when they become aware of the truth that body has no signification in love. It is trough soul that love is to be express at end not to body.

                                                                 Their ECSTASY makes them aware at the truth that body is their but they are not body. It is here that the meeting paint takes place between ‘THE GEETA’ and spiritual love of the lovers. The lovers considered to such a Devin experience of love is possible anything greater and higher in love to achieved. It is this experience of ECSTASY which love accepts as the happiness of god almighty.
