SatChitAnanda

Who doesn't want to be Happy?
We all seek Happiness
We search for it from birth to death 
But the true treasure of Bliss we miss 
Success is Happiness, we were taught 
And in this myth, we were caught
We won and we lost, we succeeded,
 and we failed But Happiness we forgot
Happiness is like a Shadow, you see 
The more you chase it, the further is goes away 
But if you stay still to enjoy it
You will see that with you, it will stay 
Happiness is not a product or a place
Nor a person that can give you Bliss 
Happiness is a state of being, my friend 
When will you realize this? 
From the time we are born, we seek Happiness 
Just as we run away from pain
We start seeking pleasure and then we seek Peace 
We seek Happiness again and again
Ananda is that state of Joy 
It is true Bliss without a tear
We transcend the suffering of ego, body, and mind 
And we live without worry and fear
But this state of Ananda, this state of Joy 
Doesn't come to us for free
Until we become conscious of the Truth 
In this state we cannot be 
It starts with the Realization of the Truth 
Overcoming the myth in life
Renouncing all superstitions and rituals 
That create misery and strife 

When we go in quest, 'What is the Truth?' 
It is then that we get to find
All that we were taught when we were a child 
Was a lie, but we were just blind
When we are Enlightened with the Truth 
It is then we get to know
We are not this body, we are not this mind 
This world is just a show
We realize that we are the Divine Soul 
That causes us to live until death
The day we leave this physical body 
There is death, there is no breath
But we are that, the Divine Soul
To realize this is our goal
Then, we will experience true Ananda, 
In Peace and Joy, we will roll
Why is it we don't realize the Truth? 
Why the Truth we don't find? 
Because we live as prisoners 
Of the ego, body and mind
Our quest leads us to the Law of Karma 
Our actions make our desires prevail 
Then we realize there is no heaven and hell 
It is all but a fairy tale 
Today science agrees we are not the body that appears 
Before this there was no synergy
It had warred with spirituality on almost all counts 
But today both agree we are energy
When we become conscious of this Truth 
Then the myth we leave behind
It is then that we open our spiritual eyes 
We can see, we are no more blind 
But soon the mind that's a monkey
Will jump from thought to thought
The Truth that we had realized
Will soon be forgot

The challenge is to stay conscious
And to observe as a witness
Only then the Truth that we have realized 
Will give us Happiness
The Truth is the Truth, no one can deny 
But we must be conscious of it
Otherwise though we have the knowledge 
We will lose sight of it
Consciousness is not an easy thing
It's unknown to the world
Only a few are blessed to experience 
What the wise sages had told
SatChitAnanda, they used to say
Consciousness, Truth, Bliss
But what this state actually was
Nobody could understand this 
Consciousness of the Truth is Bliss 
But how this Joy, can one find? 
Unless one realizes the Truth
They remain prisoners of the mind
Ananda is that state of Bliss
It is a state of Joy that's rare
It is eternal Peace and everlasting 
Bliss But you must pay the fare
You must be conscious of the Truth 
If you want everlasting Peace
Then the triple suffering that makes you cry 
Will, once and for all, cease
Nothing will affect you in this world 
As you surrender and you accept 
The Divine Leela of the Lord
You will realize you passed the test 
Nothing is real, it is just like a dream 
In the end, we all must go
But if we live conscious of the Truth 
We will truly enjoy the show
Those who don't know, they fret and fume 
They look at the sky and they cry
They try to make sense from what happens 
They pray and ask God, ‘Why?’
But those who live conscious of the Truth 
They live a life of Bliss
They have learnt to live in the moment 
Forever in Happiness
SatChitAnanda is a seamless Joy
Being conscious living in Peace
Nothing that happens in the world
Can make our Bliss cease 
For deep within we enjoy Peace
And conscious of the Truth we live
We know it’s a dream, it’s not real 
We love, we laugh and we give
But is it easy to achieve this state...
This state of eternal Bliss? 
Oh, no! As long as we have the mind 
It’s difficult to achieve this
As long as the monkey mind in us
Creates all the junk 
There can be no Ananda 
Till the Monkey becomes a Monk 
Then, we can live with Consciousness 
With Peace, with Joy, with Bliss
Nothing that happens in this mortal world 
Will steal our Happiness 
SatChitAnanda is eternal Bliss
It is our ultimate goal
It comes when we transcend ego, body, mind 
And we live as the Divine Soul
