Question: Guru, could you tell me the difference between joy, Bliss and Delight?
Sri Chinmoy: Joy is in the physical plane. Bliss is in the inner plane, but it is centred around something specific. Delight, with its immortal light, runs throughout the entire being.An unaspiring person can have joy, but he cannot have divine Bliss or Delight. Only a seeker can experience Bliss and Delight. Bliss is intensity. Delight is Immortality’s freedom flying constantly in Infinity’s sky.
