Meaning of God said to be ‘Sat- Chit- Ananda’
The relative existence of the world is in the view of God only and not in the view of the soul

   God is said to be existence - awareness – bliss (Sat- Chit- Ananda). God is not awareness and this is established already. Even though God is not awareness, He knows due to His unimaginable nature. Bliss is intensive happiness and is the property of awareness only. When awareness itself ruled out, where is the place for its property? Still, you can say that God is happy due to His unimaginable nature. The word existence can be straightly accepted. God is the absolute existence and world exists relatively with respect to the absolute existence of God. When the rope is mistaken as snake, the existence of snake depends on the existence of rope only. Hence, the word Sat means the absolute existence. The relative existence of the snake is in the view of rope only and not in the view of snake. Therefore, the relative existence of the world is in the view of God only and not in the view of the soul.

The reason is that the soul itself is relative and is a part of the relative world. The soul is awareness and awareness is a special work form of energy. The awareness requires space for its existence since no work can be done in the absence of space. For the relative soul, the relative world cannot be relative and is absolute only. A person in the dream can never realize the relative existence of the dream in which he himself is part.
