Your experience is that whatever the emotion or experience, the fact of being in it one hundred percent turns into joy?
Right. Because it wipes out self. There’s nothing left but openness. Not happiness, but openness - joy. Joy can also be sad. Perhaps you’ve had a grandmother die. She dies peacefully, and in a way it’s wonderful. It’s time - there’s no conflict about it, and there’s even joy, because that’s the way it is, and it’s fine."
