The Open Secret

"This will be your new name: Swami Anand Avid...

Anand means bliss, and Avid means one who knows - one who knows blissfully, one who knows through bliss, a knowing blissfulness.

And God can only be known that way; God cannot be known through suffering. Everybody tends to remember God when they suffer. But the real lovers are those who remember him when they are happy, because it is only in happiness that we are open to him." (Osho)
