thereby He, the Sat ;
He is the responsiveness
of all that respond,
so Chit—that He is ;
He is the becoming
of each that becomes,
thus He, the Ananda as known,
He made Him Himself,--
materialized with the matter
of Sat-Chit-Ananda
that of Him and His
which is and was.
'MAGNA DICTA'
---Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra.
It is the essence of religion and spirituality. It verily is the unborn, eternal
(sat), full of knowledge, and consciousness (cit) and the highest ecstasy or
bliss (ananda). This is agreed upon by all students of Vedanta. Sripada Sankara
acarya has said that we are this- this is our real nature tat tvam asi, aham
brahmasmi this kaivalya advaita vada etc Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu the propunder
of the last understanding of Vedanta has expanded this conception- that although
we are saccidananda in nature- we are not the Supreme eternal but part and
parcel of the Absolute truth. The relationship between the spirit soul and God
is love or bhakti which is purely spiritual. Although there is difference still
it is one and same- this is inconcievable (by nature God is Inconcievable but
Sri Krishna has stated in the Gita that by devotion He is to be known) this
philosophy of acintya bhedhaabhedha completes or compliments all the other major
vedantic understandings. The upanishads are as Sripada Sankara quotes a cow
milked by the transcendental cowherd Sri Krishna for the calf Arjuna, the milk
is the Gita and the wise man of purified intellect the drinker. It is the
essence and it gives the substance.
Satchitanada (Sanskrit) is a devanagari
compound of three Sanskrit words, Sat, Chit ,
and Ananda, meaning True Being, Pure
Consciousness and Bliss respectively. The expression is used in Yoga and other
schools of Indian philosophy to describe the nature of Brahman as experienced by
a fully liberated yogin. Orthography may differ: saccidânanda, sat-cit-ananda,
sac chid ananda, etc. When pronounced together the compound sounds like:
Sach-chid-ânanda (where the â is of longer vocal length).
Saccidânanda may be understood as the energetic state and 'stuff' of
non-duality, a manifestation of our spiritually natural, primordial and
authentic state (sahaj or compare rigpa) which is comparable in quality to that
of deity.
Various Hindu Schools impart different realisations and understandings of this
philosophical concept and are herein included respectfully to endeavour to draw
a comprehensive view while honouring differences.
In Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary vision of the soul and the universe (of which
saccidânanda is the principal term), even though the soul is incarnate in maya
and subject to space, matter and time, it maintain an ongoing and eternal
oneness with saccidânanda or divinity. This incarnating aspect or dimension of
the human being, the spirit-soul, or the 'psychic being' or chaitya purusha, is
the staple essence that reincarnates from life to life. This essence is of the
energetic quality of saccidânanda.
Aurobindo holds that there exists a supreme power, the 'Supermind', which is the
first emanation from saccidânanda and can be brought into play through the
practice of yoga to yoke life, mind and matter with sublime states of
consciousness, being, delight and power and thereby manifest more of our inherent divinity
