*Anand
means bliss, but it is not just bliss in the way that we are used to thinking.
Anand is the state of bliss that comes when every word that you speak,
and every action you take supports the light and journey of your soul.
In the
words of Yogi Bhajan, "Many people
believe that the spiritual path is difficult and the neurotic path is
easy ... It takes the same effort and energy to walk either path. The
difficulty lies in the nature of the mind and how it grasps things and
becomes entranced by feelings and sensations (Maya) ... Direct the mind
with immediate sensations and convoluted negotiations, and we create neurosis
and confusion. Direct it with the power of the Infinite Word, words of
truth, and we will excel with clarity, kindness, and love."
"The
use of music for spiritual attainment and healing of
the soul, which was prevalent in ancient times, is not
found to the same extent today. Music has been made
a pastime, the means of forgetting God instead
of realizing God." -- Hazrat
Inayat Khan
