Satyam Shivam Sundaram

This is one piece of achievement that rewards liberation from mind related miseries. The person is able to move to the abode of Sat-Chit-Anand. 

Sat : The person realises that there is a ONE (this one is expressed as not two - absence of dvaita therefore Advaita). This one manifests as many, in many, though the many (are but appearances) are manifestations of the one. That is the truth - SAT.

Chit : Chit is translated at knowledge. Chit is a mind that is unsullied by influences of the psyche. The psyche being a distorting influence that changes the unsullied view of self, others (particular others and others generally) and of the world. The unsullied mind is the soul aspect of the Sat as the all 'knowing' 'witness observer'.

Ananda : Ananda is the blissful, peace dominant, grounded, settled mind of a realised person.

Such an emancipated person is liberated because the person finds him / herself free of ownership (hence possession) in any dimension or format. 

This view is based on the content of Chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Ashtavakra Gita.
