Real joy means immediate expansion. If we experience pure joy, immediately our heart expands. We feel that we are flying in the divine freedom-sky. The entire length and breadth of the world becomes ours, not for us to rule over, but as an expansion of our consciousness. We become reality and vastness.
Interpretation
True joy leads to a profound sense of freedom and connection with the world around us.
This quote by Sri Chinmoy conveys that genuine joy is transformative; it not only elevates our spirits but also broadens our understanding and experience of existence. When we encounter pure joy, our perception expands, allowing us to transcend limitations and feel a deep connection with the universe, embracing it as a part of our own consciousness rather than as something separate from us.
In practice

Meditation is not an escape. Meditation is the acceptance of life in its totality, with a view to transforming it for the highest manifestation of the divine Truth here on earth

Meditation speaks. It speaks in silence. It reveals. It reveals to the aspirant that matter and spirit are one, quantity and quality are one, the immanent and the transcendent are one. It reveals that life can never be the mere existence of seventy or eighty years between birth and death, but is, rather, Eternity itself.
The word 'yoga' means skill - skill to live your life, to manage your mind, to deal with your emotions, to be with people, to be in love and not let that love turn into hatred.
