SAT - CHIT - ANANDA

(existence/consciousness/bliss)

​

 Paramhansa Yogananada adds that Ananda is different from the temporary happiness that comes from sense pleasures such as eating, listening to music, and seeing beautiful things. It is also not a monotonous joy that is always the same. Ananda refers to a joy that:

 

"...changes and dances itself in many ways to enthral your mind and keep your attention occupied and interested forever"
