Ananda

Ananda is pure joy, pure bliss: the third pole of Satchitananda, where sat is being, chit is awareness, ananda is the bliss that is your true nature. Anando Brahmeti vyajanat: bliss itself is Brahman. This joy is not a feeling that comes and goes; it is what you already are when doership and judgment fall away. You become the Chidananda Rupam, the very form of conscious joy: walking joy, with no effort.
