Satchitananda – Part 1
Sat-Chitta-Ananda meaning Truth-Consciousness-Bliss
– how do we reach this stage? Osho has explained this beautifully – I will try
and summarise it in this post.
In the spiritual realm there are seven chakras
associated with the seven bodies of each human being. I have written about this
aspect in one of my earlier posts – the first four chakras can be crossed with
regular meditation under the guidance of a realised Master. Briefly the
bodies-chakras are: Physical-Root, Emotional-Sacral, Astral-Navel,
Mental-Heart, Spiritual-Throat, Cosmic-Agya (Brow), Nirvanic-Crown.
The fifth body is the spiritual body and the
vishuddhi chakra is connected to the spiritual body. The first four bodies and
their chakras were split into two. The duality ends with the fifth body.
Difference between male-female lasts until the fourth body; after that it ends.
If you have observed closely duality belongs to male and female. Where the distance
between the two disappears, at that very point duality ceases to exist. The
fifth body is non-dual.
By the time we reach the fifth body we have
developed so much capability and strength in our spiritual pursuit that it is
very easy to enter the fifth body. How do we know this? The person who has
reached this stage is completely rid of all unconsciousness – his body sleeps
at night, but there is someone within who is awake all the time. Sleep is the
innate condition before the beginning of the spiritual plane. Once man enters
the fifth body the ‘sleep’ disappears, and here the quality is wakefulness. At
this stage the person is considered to be awakened. At this stage the ’I’
disappears once and for all. Conflicts and problems of the individual end at
this stage – here the question – ‘Who am I?’ is answered.
Once we enter the fifth body, whatever we do is in
a wakeful state, with full awareness. The danger at this stage is that you become
so happy and blissed out at this stage that you don’t want to go further. This
is because man has suffered through several births and this state of bliss
feels like heaven, hence the danger. One has now attained atma-gyan or
self-realisation and to reach the stage of Brahma-gyan – the cosmic reality
becomes a challenge!
Bliss draws us into itself; we get completely
immersed in it as it is something we have craved for several births and the
feeling is so intense that one really does not want to get out of it! Stand out
of it – become a witness, watch it, that is the only way you can progress
further.
