Sat-Chit-Ananda

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

There was time when I myself had posted a question in this group,

the question was, "How can one feel his omnipresence?"

 

One of the answer back then was that since there exists nothing else

but the self, the question itself stands false in the first place.

 

I agree with the answer 100%. However, in case we still continue to

see the world as being truly existence due to our vasana, then we may

still feel the need for it to be answered.

 

Other day, the answer came to me in thw word "sat-chit-ananda", this

beautiful description of self. Lets see what they are first

 

Sat - means pure existence

 

Chit - means awareness or an energy thru which I feel that "I am"

 

Anada - means peacefullness, if you keep looking at the qualities

of "I am"; you see it has no such qualities that of the ego has, with

its association of body and mind. Therefore being eternally peacefull

and complete.

 

Now, lets attribute the same to the worlds objects.

 

You can see the presence of a sun and therefore due to this attribute

it can be concluded that the sun has a 'Sat' attribute.

 

The sun too has a energy or we can term it as potential energy. This

energy makes it have 'chit' attribute. Like in our case as long as

the 'chit' remains to itself it creates no harm. When the same 'chit'

is made to flow thru mind or body, it creates effects either good or

bad. Likewise, when the energy of the sun is made to flow thru say a

magnifying glass or a solar equipment it can cause fire or boil

water.

 

The sun by itself remains at peace irrespectively making it

have 'Anada' attribute.

 

Likewise, every object at its natural state has the same attribute as

that of the self. So, even if we question our omnipresence from the

belief that world exists, we can see how we exist in everything.

 

Thanks & Regards
