Guest guest Posted November 11, 2000 Report Share Posted November 11, 2000 Thank you Antoine. I like your model and explanation, although I don't know much about quantum physics. There are many ways of speaking. Sat-Chit-Ananda is One Monolithic Whole. Because It Is Whole, it admits of no point of reference. Sat (Existence) is not Separate from Chit (Knowledge) or Ananda (Pure Joy). Here is a simple example. Take freshly made mango ice cream (with soy milk, regular milk, almond milk, or other fruits) depending on your preference. On a hot summer day, you put the mango ice cream in a cup and fill a spoon and put it in your mouth and slowly savor it. You have an experience of coolness, sweetness, and creaminess in your mouth at the same time. Although conceptually, sweetness, coolness, and creaminess can be separated, the experience of mango ice cream is one monolithic whole. Similarly Sat = Chit = Ananda. Pure Oneness of Existence (Sat) is It Self, Self-Knowing, and Pure Joy simultaneous. It Is One Whole. Harsha So you do know much about quantum physics:) Take another simple example, the existence of colors like blue and green. Blue is blue and green is green the experience of each one is a whole. Yet the rainbow of colors, SatChidAnanda, is discontinuous even if the experience of each color may fell full. In quantum physics, it is those discontinuities, the quantum leaps between existing colors, that permits the nice sensations of coolness sweetness and creaminess of a mango ice cream. Yes Sat-Chit Ananda is a monolithic whole that can only vanish to allow Brahman to shine. Does the color white, the perfect rainbow without any missing colors really exist as an experience?
