Our true nature is Sat-Chit-Ananda—Existence, Consciousness, and Bliss. Forgetting this, we identify with the body and experience suffering. However, we intuitively sense our true essence, and the desire to return to it is the fundamental drive of life. Three primal urges arise from this: the longing for eternal existence (Sat) fuels our desire for longevity, consciousness (Chit) drives our quest for knowledge, and bliss (Ananda) motivates our pursuit of happiness. All desires stem from these primal urges. Through self-enquiry, we can realize our true nature, transcend these urges, and attain a blissful life.
