That very centeredness is bliss, is ecstasy, is samadhi, is nirvana. When there is no desire you are simply centered in your being. When there is no desire, where can you go? All desires lead you away from yourself. Sometimes the desire was for money, sometimes for God, sometimes for power, prestige, sometimes for heaven, paradise, but any desire is enough to distract you from your nature.
You have always been there it was only desire that was distracting you. That is the whole effort of Tantra: to transform sex into an experience of oneness - because that will be your first experience of oneness, and enlightenment is the last experience of oneness. In a certain moment of deep orgasmic bliss, oneness happens. If you have made love to a woman or to a man, and the love was really total and orgasmic, you forget who you are. You are running away from something which is the only thing worth achieving. 
But how are you going to know without tasting it? You are running away from something which can become your life’s fulfillment. You have not tasted of it it is nectar, it is not poison. You have not experienced its bliss and beauty because you have never gone into it, you have always been escaping. It makes you aware that you need not be afraid of your inner abyss.
Buddha used to call meditation a great sword, it cuts your problems at the very root. As you move higher you feel more bliss More peace, more silence, more tranquillity, More centeredness, simply joyous For no reason at all. In fact bliss is the only criterion to know: Whether you are moving higher or not. But the mind is a runner and it keeps dragging you. Hence the mystics and the buddhas say that bliss is our very nature. Only to be conscious is needed - and that you already are. Only to be alive is needed - and that you are, you already are. Happiness is not conditional nothing is needed to be happy. You remain truthful to your own consciousness - that is your only responsibility. The moment you feel that something has become phony, something has become pseudo, something has become just a mask, you simply drop it. Then you don’t need any God and you don’t need any priest, and you don’t live in any kind of misery or imprisonment. 
Out of deep meditation bliss arises, and then you are so happy the whole day, the whole night… without any cause.
Then bliss simply happens it simply showers.
Call it God, samadhi, bliss, the ultimate union, it all simply means the same: that we have to drop our separation and become one again with existence.
Sannyas is an aspiration to the most distant star.
