What happens when I experience joy?

outcome
"Joy is not the destination; it is the warm sunlight that opens you to your innermost being, preparing you for the master’s shock that shatters the false self."
According to Osho, when you truly taste joy, your defenses drop and you move closer to your innermost being. That ripeness lets the master’s shock land—the ‘hammer’ that shatters the false you. Joy isn’t the destination; it’s warming sunlight that keeps you open and near, until a passionate hit destroys the ego and a silent, unburdened presence—your original nature—stands revealed.
Real joy relaxes you so the fake ‘you’ can break and the real you can shine.
