What happens when the experience of bliss fades away?

"When bliss fades, it is the mind's cleverness that intrudes; drop your questions and embrace whatever arises with simple, natural awe."
According to Osho, bliss fades the moment thinking intrudes. The mind grows 'clever,' raises a question mark, and the spontaneous swaying of ecstasy stops; thought is the opposite of ecstasy and becomes an obstruction that diverts you from the soul’s path. The antidote is to drop questions and lovingly embrace whatever arises—tears, movement, or stillness—with simple, natural awe.
When you start thinking about your joy, it shuts off—so stop questioning and just let whatever happens happen.
