can only be an intellectual understanding that all concepts are mere concepts. But to call it nonsense -- that too, is a concept; it is nothing more than a concept. This too I call nonsense -- to call enlightenment nonsense.
I also call it nonsense because it is transcendental to sense; it is more than sense can understand. It is an experience, existential. So when I call it nonsense, it is not a condemnation. It is a great appreciation. I am praising it when I call it nonsense. You may start condemning it when you call it nonsense, and then you will miss the whole point.
Let things be as they are. It is not because of you that you cannot do anything. The experience is such that nothing can be done. It is not because of you; nobody can do anything. One day when it has reached to the very core of your being -- that nothing can be done -- not in frustration but in understanding -- then suddenly it happens. It can happen any moment; just the doer has to go. It will go, but it gives a good fight before it goes!

Anand means bliss and praghosha means a declaration -- a declaration of bliss.
Become a declaration of bliss. Don't hide It -- manifest it as much as you can. The more you manifest bliss, the more it will be coming to you. Remember a very basic law: that if bliss is expressed, shared, it grows. If you hide it, it shrinks and dies. And people go on doing just the opposite. They express their miseries and then that grows, and they go on hiding their bliss as if afraid of the world. People smile in a very miserly way. They have forgotten the very language of bliss.
So be a manifestation, a declaration -- each moment. Don't miss an opportunity where you can become blissful and where you can express your bliss, for small reasons -- for no reason at all.
Let this become your very style of life and you will be enriched tremendously.
