Anand is a state of sublime bliss which may manifest as deep inner content, profound peace, a sense of utter delight, or the thrill of absolute ecstasy.
Siri Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh scripture, declares that the way to enter the state of Anand is through contemplation of Gods name, and by reading, reciting, and above all singing, the divine hymns of Gurbani.
"Maha anand gur sabad vichar"||
"I am in ecstasy, contemplating the word of the Guru's divine hymn." (SGGS||370||)
