==Joy==
Joy (''harṣa'') is more intense. It is a strong movement of great gladness with an exultation, a leaping up of the vital to take some happiness, good fortune or other thing pleasant to the being.
Delight is an intense joy or an intense pleasure in something or an intensely joyful condition. At its most intense it becomes what is called rapture or ecstasy when one is “carried away” or “lifted out of” oneself by the intensity of the delight.
Joy is a vital movement, exciting, restless and transient.
In Ananda there is no excitement, it is a calm and happy and intense spiritual state or spiritual movement. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/peace#p52,p53,p54,p55</ref>
