Sat chit and Ananda or often stated as sachchidananda has a very
frequent appearance in Hindu philosophy and religion.
Sat stands for being (that
expresses itself in becoming through maya – sambhavami atm-mayaya – sat unfolds itself and this unfolding is
becoming). The consciousness of sat through becoming – because one can only
visualise/see/feel, becoming and not the being – leads to bliss, what was
described by Arjuna in hrishyami cha muhurmuhuh. Merely awareness of becoming,
without a consciousness of being, may not lead to bliss.
Look at some partial glimpses of
this sachchidananda. Darwin became conscious of the being expressing itself
through the will to survive – to continue – and in so expressing itself taking to various genotypes and phenotypes. Newton became conscious of the being in
expressing itself in balancing.
Every scientist, every philosopher, attempts to
be conscious of the being (by studying its becoming) and whenever he gets a glimpse
of the being, he experiences bliss, the bliss that brings out a simple smile on
his lips. This smile, howsoever momentary, is bliss. For some, this bliss may
be long-lasting and for the others it may be extremely short.
Experiencing that bliss, even for
a moment, is the meaning of life. Aspire for that blissful moment.
