Bliss

Ānanda (आनन्द) is the bliss that is consciousness' natural state, not dependent on external experiences. It is the joy of existence itself, the happiness of being that requires no cause or justification.
Historical Context
Ānanda (bliss) appears in Vedāntic literature as one of the three aspects of brahman: sat-cit-ānanda (existence-consciousness-bliss). The Upaniṣads describe ānanda as the natural state of the Self. Tantric texts detail bliss as the recognition of one's divine nature through spiritual practice.
