During Satsang the
listener should try to keep his eye on the speaker's face. While looking at the speaker's face, listening attentively, his message
gets retained in the heart. Those whose eyes are wandering while listening
to satsang, they do not know how
to listen to satsang. While
listening one must quickly concentrate the mind and take note, to the subject that the speaker started talking
about, and in that the examples he gives, etc. In this manner, by concentrating the mind,
the listener can know quickly at the beginning, what the speaker will be saying
next? What subject will he be
addressing?
When the speaker speaks about
renouncing bad qualities and conduct, then the listener thinks about the bad
qualities and conduct of other individuals, and when the speaker talks about adopting
good qualities and good conduct, then he
listener thinks about his own good qualities and conduct- In this manner, during satsang, the
listener is actually doing Kusang.
Because, by thinking of the bad qualities in others, he connects with those bad qualities, and by connecting
with those bad qualities, they naturally and automatically come in him and he
develops a nature of seeing faults in others, which is the root of all bad
qualities. Therefore on listening to
talks about bad qualities, the listener should see as to which of these bad
qualities are in him, and which ones does
he have to renounce? By listening about good qualities, the listener should think,
that due to being divine i.e. God's treasure house, all good qualities are God's
and it is out of God's grace that these come and have come in him. Thinking like this, the listener must become
immersed in God. By becoming immersed in
God, those good qualities begin to come in him naturally and on their own.
When a wise man critically examines
a particular subject, then his treatment of the topic is different,
(exceptional), and he who critically examines based on the academic and
scriptural view, his treatment of the subject is of a different kind. There
is a great difference between the two. By
critically examining from a scriptural and scholarly point of view, the subject
is remembered by the listener. By this
the listener can become the speaker, but his life will not change. On the other hand, through critical thinking
from a realized soul, the listener's life will transform. Listening to Gita, Ramayan, Bhagwat
etc.; and listening to the divine plays of the Lord, can have a great impact. However, if these are through a realized
soul, or through a loving devotee, then
it is quite exceptional.
By
listening and sharing the devotees life stories, the inner senses are automatically purified.
Therefore, I tell brother and sister many times that you all read the stories
of devotees and make children read them and tell it to them. If the children listen with
interest to these holy texts in the form of stories, then it will make a
tremendous impact on them. There is unique
and extra-ordinary power in the stories of devotees, If you listen attentively
then the heart over-flows with emotions, the eyes will be filled with tears,
the throat will be overflowing with an elated feeling, there will be a special joy ! (to be continued)
