Asti Bhati Priyam Rupam Nama Chetyamsa Pamcha
Adyatrayam Brahma Rupam Jagad Rupam Tato Dvayam
Bhati, the effulgence, the shining splendour. (San Vah, p. 91)
The three primal qualities--Asti,Bhati, Priyam (existence, expression, and utility)---are qualities to all things, while names and forms are varied. (SSS Vol.20, p. 27)
The Vedantins looked upon these three as reflections of each other. In fact, all three are one and the same. When one says, ‘Here is a tumbler,’ the Is-ness is Asti. This is Sat. We are seeing it. The quality of being perceivable is Bhati. This is Cit (cognisability). ‘I am enjoying it.’ This is Priyam or Ananda. Sat-cit-ananda, are one. It is one and the same thing which is, which shines and which gives Ananda. Though there is only One, because of our mental processes, we are seeing It in many forms and names. (SSS Vol.23, p. 71)
