Niralamba Upanishad: Verse 15

सुखमिति च सच्चिदानन्दस्वरूपं ज्ञात्वा आनन्दरूपा या स्थितिः सैव सुखम् ॥१५॥

सुखम् इति च । सत्-चित्-आनन्द-स्वरूपम् । ज्ञात्वा । आनन्द-रूपा । या स्थितिः । सा एव । सुखम् ॥

Recitation with translationNiralamba Upanishad 15

sukham iti ca sacchidānandasvarūpaṃ jñātvā ānandarūpā yā sthitiḥ saiva sukham ||15||

सुख का मतलब यह है कि तुम सच-चित-आनंद को जान लो। यह वो स्थिति है जहाँ तुम्हे अंदर से खुशी मिलती है। सच में होना, चेतना होना, और आनंद में रहना यही सुख है। जब तुम यह समझ जाते हो तब तुम्हे असली सुख मिलता है।

‘Happiness’—so (it is said)—is that state which is of the nature of bliss, having known (realized) the essence whose nature is being, consciousness, and bliss (sat-cit-ānanda).

Ānanda as Brahman/Ātman-svarūpa; sukha as abiding (sthiti) in realized sat-cit-ānandaMahavakya: Echoes ‘prajñānaṃ brahma’ and supports ‘ahaṃ brahmāsmi’ insofar as realizing Brahman as consciousness entails abiding as ānanda; aligns with Upaniṣadic ānanda-doctrine (ānanda as intrinsic, not object-derived).AtharvaChandas: Prose
