The Oneness of Awareness

The Meaning of Ananda

A man asks if the blissful aspect of being is present but left unspoken to avoid creating expectations. Rupert, explaining that the Sanskrit term ananda had been mistranslated, says that he avoids the word ‘bliss’ because of its exotic connotation. Ananda, he clarifies, refers not to an extraordinary experience, but to the quiet joy or imperturbable peace that is ever-present and accessible to all.
