enjoy, to enjoy intensely, totally. When a man enjoys life totally he is in god.
And each sense can become a door. If you enjoy beauty then your eyes become doors to god; if you enjoy . sound, music, then your ears become your doors to god. Every sense can become a door and all five senses are doors to god.
So you drop your fear. First try to understand that it is there; then I will give you a few groups in which the fear can be brought out and slowly dropped, mm ? But be alert -- that is your basic problem.
Anand means bliss and munindra means the silent one. Muni means silent. It comes from a root 'mouna'; mouna means silence. And when you are silent there is bliss, when the mind is utterly silent there is immense bliss. All misery is because the mind goes on being noisy -- chattering, chattering. It never allows anything to grow, to flower, to bloom. The song is through silence, the song is soundless.
So become more and more silent; that is my message to you. Talk less. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't talk, and say only a few words. In the time you are here you will start having a few glimpses of silence. Go to the riverside or sit alone with the trees, with the birds, with the river, and just watch and just be silent.

Because the child has lived for nine months in a beautiful world, in a paradise -- no anxiety, no responsibility, nothing to do, just enjoying, just being -- and then suddenly one day he is being thrown out of his home. The home has been so beautiful: never again will he find any home so beautiful, so comfortable, so warm; never again will he be so carefree. Unless he attains enlightenment he is not going to be so carefree again. Never again will his mind be at rest, never again will
