Piti is a very specific joy, one of the five factors of the first jhana, a deep concentration state.
The best way to meet the meaning of this is to consider 5 types of joy. As the meditator practices both samatha or vipassana, his mind will focus on one (mental) object or on a succession of objects.
5 Piti
- Weak rapture
- Short rapture
- Going down rapture
- Exalting rapture
- Fulfilling rapture
Note only the last two are considered specificly Piti. The firts are just a preparation for the last one, which is the Jhanic factor.
