 It is not all that important how much you love God; what is more important is how much God loves you. God is the embodiment of Sat Chit Ananda. Sat means that which is eternal. Chit is total awareness. When water and sugar are mixed with each other, you get syrup. Likewise, the combination of Sat and Chit results in Ananda (bliss). The happiness  that you experience out of worldly pleasures is momentary. You will attain true and everlasting bliss, only when you turn your vision inward and experience the Atma

It has no form, but is full of bliss.
Tidaklah penting untuk mengetahui  seberapa besar cinta-kasihmu terhadap Tuhan, tetapi yang jauh lebih penting  adalah seberapa besar cinta-kasih Tuhan terhadap dirimu. Beliau adalah  perwujudan Sat Chit Ananda. Sat diartikan sebagai sesuatu yang bersifat abadi.  Chit adalah kesadaran total. Apabila air dicampur dengan gula, maka engkau akan  mendapatkan sirup. Demikian pula, kombinasi Sat dan Chit akan menghasilkan  Ananda (bliss). Kesenangan yang engkau peroleh dari kenikmatan duniawi bersifat  sementara. Bliss sejati dan abadi hanya akan bisa engkau peroleh apabila engkau  memalingkan pandanganmu ke dalam dirimu sendiri serta merealisasikan Atma (Self)  yang tak berwujud, namun penuh dengan bliss. 
- Divine Discourse, November 19, 1999.
