Sat-Chit-Ananda is a triple consciousness. Sat is existence, Chit is

consciousness and Ananda is bliss. You can separate them if you want

to and, at the same time, you can take them as one. If one achieves

Existence, then inside Existence he has Consciousness itself. And if

one has Consciousness, then Bliss is there. It is like an apartment

or plot of land. You can give the plot of land one name or, if you

want to divide it, each part of the plot can be called by a different

name. But the reality of one is bound to be found in the other. They

complement one another. So you can either separate them or keep them

as one.

Sat-Chit-Ananda is the triple consciousness on the highest plane, and

that plane is for the absolutely chosen few. To reach Sat-Chit-Ananda

is a most difficult thing. Hardly twenty or thirty Masters have

reached it and stayed at that plane, and hardly one or two can embody

it. Some Masters have reached that plane and immediately came down

because it was too high for them. It is much easier for people to

reach the illumined mind or the Supermind, but Sat-Chit-Ananda is

absolutely the highest. That consciousness is almost impossible to

attain, even for the spiritual Masters. (God, Avatars and Yogis)

To be sure, the Kingdom of Heaven is more than just a mere plane, like

other planes. It is a plane of divine Consciousness. It is a state of

Realisation. It embodies Sat-Chit-Ananda. Sat is divine Existence,

Chit is divine Consciousness, Ananda is divine Bliss. When we go deep

within we feel these three together, and when we acquire the inner

vision to perceive them all at once, we live verily in the Kingdom of

Heaven. Otherwise, Existence is at one place, Consciousness is

somewhere else and Bliss is nowhere near the other two. When we see

and feel Existence-Consciousness-Bliss on the selfsame plane, each

complementing and fulfilling the others, we can say that we live in

the Kingdom of Heaven. Yes, the Kingdom of Heaven is within us. Not

only can we feel it, but without the least possible doubt, we can

become it.
