BRAHMAN AS SAT-CIT-ANANDA

The Upanishads give supreme importance to the knowledge of Brahman. The goal of a man in life is get rid of the Avidya which is the cause of bondage. Avidya is destroyed only through Brahmavidya or Atmavidya. There for Upanishad present knowledge as the sure means for liberation "He who knows Brahman attains Brahman." The positive indications or Svarupa-Lakshnas give us some enlightenment about the proper nature of Brahman. According to the Taittriya, Upanishad the only way in which Brahman described is Brahman is reality, knowledge, infinite Satyam Jnanam Anantam Brahma. As the real of the real Brahman simply is and hence sat or being is the most suitable designation for it. If Brahman is the ultimate Being it is the sole knower and includes all knowledge and thus the very essence of its being is understanding. It is wholly a mass of wisdom. It is consciousness itself (sit) then can be no limitation for such a being. It is then for infinite (anantam). If the absolute (Brahman) is pure existence (sat) pure thought (cit) and infinity (anantam).

It must be free from change decay and suffering. It must  be pure bliss (Anandam) Brahman as real intelligence, infinite a pure knowledge and bliss, those who know Brahman as reality, knowledge and infinity share in the bliss of Brahman, knowledge and infinity, hidden in the depth of the heart and in the highest there or farthest space, he enjoys all blessings at one with the omniscient Brahman.

As a conclusion, when we say that Brahman as Sat Cit Ananda, Sat means existence. Brahman is pure existence and satyam truth, is that which corresponds to existence. Cit is knowledge, tha Sat cit Ananda concept could be conceived this way the reality in one, but we may distinguish in this one reality the three ontological manifestations as sat cit and Ananda.
