Satcitanandaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Saccidānanda, Satchidananda, or Sat-cit-ānanda (Sanskrit: सच्चिदानन्द) is a compound of three Sanskrit words, Sat (सत्), Cit (चित्), and Ānanda (आनन्द) (the ā is of longer vocal length), meaning truth (the Eternal), consciousness, and bliss respectively. The expression comes from Hinduism and is used in yoga and other schools of Indian philosophy to describe the nature of Brahman as experienced by a fully liberated yogi or saint. As it is maintained that this experience is one of unification, the three phenomenologically distinct concepts are nonetheless regarded as representing the unity of the ultimate reality. Orthography may differ depending on whether the word is treated in its compound form and therefore subject to sandhi: saccidānanda (सच्चिदानन्द), or split into its elements: sat-cit-ananda, sac chid ananda, etc. The compound always sounds like: Sach-chid-ānanda, regardless of spelling. Yoga describes the essence of Universal Consciousness as Satchitananda which means existence, consciousness and absolute bliss. Saccidānanda may be understood as the energetic state of non-duality, a manifestation of our spiritually natural, primordial and authentic state which is comparable in quality to that of deity.
