experiencing..the key to joy

Normally, the perception filters prevent us from experiencing.The senses are under the grasp of the mind. When we are aware of the mind dialogues while responding to any event, we get de-clutched and enter the realms of pure experience unfettered by the mind's conditionings.

And the intrinsic nature of "experience" is bliss.It is a liberating experience.

It does not depend on the content of the experience.We have a tendency to focus on content and classify it as pleasureable or otherwise. Bliss lies in the process of experiencing, independent of content.
