In joy, you witness, you witness the whole thing. And when you are joyous you feel the whole thing, the joy itself coming on you like grace falling on to you. It's so beautiful that you just get lost into it.

When your attention is peaceful, when we are absolutely without any thoughts, then the peace resides.
