Preface
SatChitAnanda or Truth, Consciousness, Bliss means Consciousness of the Truth is Bliss. It is a state of Divine Bliss experienced when one becomes conscious of the Truth.
We human beings believe that life is like a merry-go-round. As we go round and round, we pass pleasure and pain, loss and gain, sun and rain and this is what life is all about.
Have you seen anybody who has not experienced pain? Every human being who is born must suffer before death. This seems to be the rule of life.
Every human being is seeking pleasure and happiness. We are all born such that we seek pleasure and shun pain. We keep seeking happiness and try to escape from every possible misery. We desire and we crave, and we believe each expectation, when fulfilled, will give us that much-desired Joy.
Very few people in this world discover the secret of eternal Peace and everlasting Joy. They go in search for the true meaning of life. They overcome the myth and realize the Truth and they enjoy Ananda, a Bliss unknown to the common man. They experience Peace and Joy like they have never experienced before. They overcome all misery and suffering, as they become conscious of the Truth they have realized.
This book reveals the secret of SatChitAnanda. It will help us realize the Truth just as it will make us conscious of it and show us the way to Ananda, to live every moment of life with seamless Joy and Peace.
This book is divided into 4 parts. The first part is titled Sat or Truth. It helps us understand the several Truths of life as it will bust the myth that we have always lived with.
The second part of this book is called Chit. Chit is Consciousness. While we have heard of the word 'Consciousness', very few of us experience what true Consciousness is. It is awareness, being the observer or the witness. This is not easy. It needs both discipline and practice.
After we understand Sat and Chit, we will move on to the third part, Ananda, eternal Peace and everlasting Bliss. Most people enjoy pleasure, but they don't know the meaning of true Joy. This part of the book will open the door to Ananda, an ecstasy that is beyond any pleasure that we have experienced or imagined. Once we understand, Sat, Chit, and Ananda, then we will put it all together and go on a journey to experience SatChitAnanda. We will learn to live in that state of eternal, seamless Bliss that knows no misery or sorrow, as a witness of the Truth.
This may look like a fantasy, but it ends with my personal experience, how I enjoy Ananda, with Chit of Sat. With the Consciousness of Truth, how I live a life of eternal Peace and everlasting Joy.
This book will create a paradigm shift as it will challenge your thought process, but you must be ready to change and transform if you want to learn the secret of SatChitAnanda. It was revealed by the sages who lived thousands of years ago. But because we human beings sink into the material world, we do not experience the Bliss of our Spiritual Consciousness.
To experience this Bliss, we don't have to go anywhere far away. We have to stop, pause our wandering mind to contemplate and realize the Truth. Then, if we discipline ourselves to be conscious of our realization, we will float like waves dancing with Bliss in the Divine Ocean.
Come, let's start our quest for the treasure of SatChitAnanda.
