joy

Saraha says: BE AVAILABLE TO JOY, WHEREVER IT COMES FROM. Never deny it. Don't condemn it. When it is of the body, so what? Then God is knocking at your body. When you are eating and you feel a certain joy, you enjoy your food, it is God; you are swallowing Him.

WHEN YOU HOLD THE HAND OF A WOMAN OR A MAN or a friend, or anybody, with tremendous love AND THERE IS A THRILL IN YOUR BODY ENERGY, there is a dance, a deep dance in your body energy; when you are stirred -- LIKE ELECTRICITY SOMETHING VIBRATES, something renovates, rejuvenates you, something which makes you more alive than you have ever been before -- it is joy. IT IS GOD COMING THROUGH THE BODY. When listening to music you feel tremendously happy, it is joy through the mind. 

Looking at a flower without touching it and without bringing your mind into it, A MOMENT COMES WHEN THERE IS BLISS -- subtle, silent, profound, benediction. But all are different manifestations of JOY.
