Asi · Chapter XVII
Śraddhā Traya Vibhāga Yoga
The Yoga of the Three Divisions of Faith
Each person worships according to their nature — those in goodness worship the gods, those in passion worship the powerful, those in darkness worship spirits and the dead. Faith, food, sacrifice, austerity and charity are each threefold. The chapter closes with the three words that are the seed of every sacred act: Sat-Chit-Ananda — being, consciousness, bliss.
