Have you noticed something...quite unique about joy? Something that makes it different than pretty much everything else that we, as humans, can experience?
Joy is an experience that takes us out of time. When we're truly in the midst of joy, time simply disappears; it's as if there is no time at all, yet somehow, we continue to experience our selves.
And there's another thing to note, too. When we're enveloped by joy, our thinking stops, but our consciousness remains utterly alert. We, for perhaps the only times in our lives, experience what life could be like if we could simply stop thinking and re-connect with our being.
Meditation is the journey to the center of joy. That is really the only purpose of meditation; to guide us back to our selves. Little children do not need to meditate; they are already meditative. It's only us adults, with layers and layers of personality, ego and other artificial things, need to find the way back home.
Happy travels :)
