"What is meant by Sath-Chith-Aanandha? Sath is "Being", that which is eternal and unchanging.
Sugar has the quality of sweetness, which remains in whatever form it may be used. For purposes
of analogy, sugar may be described as Sath. Chith may be compared to water. It has the quality
of mobility. When sugar and water are mixed, you have neither sugar nor water as such, but a
new product, syrup. When Sath and Chith come together, you have Aanandha (Divine Bliss).
People imagine that this bliss is to be found in jobs, marriage, property or progeny. That is not
the case. You hope for happiness in one thing after another: education, jobs, marriage, children
and so on. But happiness eludes you. The only enduring happiness is got by oneness with the
Divine."
