The State and Psychology of Anand

January 6, 1988 |

The subject I’m going to discuss today is Anand and Sikh Dharma.

There are a lot of literary meanings of the stage of Anand. In English, you have an equivalent of it called bliss. Anand can be attached to any state where you momentarily feel satisfied. That’s why Guru Amar Das wrote Anand Sahib-the command, the domain of the Anand.
