Does joy arise out of the heart or out of the being?

definition
"You are not just a vessel for joy; you are joy itself, and as you deepen into your being, that joy radiates more brilliantly through your heart."
According to Osho, joy originates in your being and flows outward through the heart, which is only a vehicle for its expression. As you deepen into being, the heart's channel becomes clearer, wider, and more radiant; joy does not drop, it intensifies. Centered in being, you don't have joy; you are joy, so drop attachment and imitation, and let it naturally express.
Joy comes from the deepest you and shines through your heart; get quiet inside and stop clinging or copying, and it will show by itself.
