Sat-chit-ananda

Sat-chit-ananda

sat-chit-ananda, "sat" – being, "chit" – consciousness, "ananda" – eternal bliss, the properties inherent to Brahman.

In Tantras – this is the classical definition of Absolute, considered as aspects of His Energy, not different from Him: sat-shakti (energy of eternity), chit-shakti (energy of the mind) and ananda-shakti (energy of bliss).

These are also the qualities of Atman abiding in every living being. Thus, Sat-chit-ananda is intrinsic to every living being.
