Sachchidananda as Trinity

We are "Existence, Knowledge, Bliss" (Sachchidananda).
Existence is the last generalization in the universe; 
so we exist, we know it; and bliss is the natural result of existence without alloy. … 

… we see Sachchidananda as Trinity -- father, Son, Holy Ghost. 

Sat = the creating principle; 
Chit = the guiding principle; 
Ananda = the realizing principle, which joins us again to the One. 
No one can know "existence" (Sat) except through "knowledge" (Chit), and hence the force of the saying of Jesus, No man can see the Father save through the Son.
