“If only we can understand one small but subtle truth, we can expand the horizons of our thought and feelings to any extent. There is nothing other than the self in the universe. All the things you see as existing in the phenomenal world are but the reflections of the one Self. In the case of mundane affairs, the subject, the object and the predicate- all these three are present. But in spiritual matters relating to the Atma or Self, there is only the subject, but no separate object or predicate. In fact, all these three aspects get merged into one Atma-tatwa- the principle of the Self which pervades everywhere as Chaitanya- Consciousness. There is no place, where Consciousness does not exist. This very Chaitanya has been partitioned, so to say, into three aspects of Sat, Chit, Ananda for the satisfaction and understanding of the laity. These three aspects have been described by the Vedantins as mutual reflections of one another. They have used the terms Asthi, Bhathi and Prayam for Sat, Chit and Ananda respectively. But all these three refer to one and the same entity.” Sai Baba.
