SATCHITANANDA?
While it is easy to read about the Truth, Consciousness and Bliss, how can we come to this state of being? It is not something momentary like pleasure. It is being transported to a land of ecstasy and Joy. However, we cannot arrive at destination SatChitAnanda without realizing the Truth. Realization is an esoteric subject and very few people are blessed to live with realization. We may have all the knowledge of the Truth, but we may not realize it. Unless we open our 'real' eyes, the Truth may be staring at us in our face, but we will not be able to see it.
Even though some people may be blessed to realize the Truth, they may not be conscious of it. They may live and die as slaves of their ME, the Mind and Ego. The mind is constantly jumping like a monkey and stealing our Consciousness. To be in SatChitAnanda is the second challenge. We must not only realize the Truth, but be conscious of it. If we realize the Truth, and we are conscious of it, then we will experience this state of SatChitAnanda. SatChitAnanda is the experience of a Bliss that is beyond human comprehension. It is that Ananda, ecstatic Bliss that is rewarded to a Jivanmukta, a liberated Soul. It cannot be explained in words, it must be experienced. But we can understand what it is and how we can achieve it. If one is inspired to reach destination SatChitAnanda, then one must start the journey by going on a quest for the Truth, renouncing the ordinary pleasures of the world.
