Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 17 verse 26-27

 Chapter 17 verse 26-27 

“The word “Sat” means eternal existence and goodness. O Arjuna, it is also used to describe an auspicious action. Being established in the performance of sacrifice, penance, and charity, is also described by the word “Sat.” And so any act for such purposes is named “Sat.”” 

“Satchidananda” refers to a state of eternal existential bliss- Sat here refers to the existence itself and everything pure about that existence. Chit is the consciousness and ananda is the bliss. Similarly the expression “Om Tat Sat” refers to Supreme Divine’s existence as the primordial force in the entire Universe. When all our actions are done in this mode that everything is controlled by the divine and we are just instruments of these actions, we are known to be doing “Sat” karya or noble or auspicious action.
