Glories of Satsang
(Satsang Ki Mahima )
In satsang
there is only one form of trade, talks about the Lord. Talk, listen,
understand, think, and contemplate about that only. Whoever the Lord graces, He
gives satsang to that person. When he gives satsang, then understand that a
very great thing has been found in one`s search for Truth (God). Those who are
dear to the Lord, they remain in God. It is the treasure of the heart. The
child that mother and father are most fond of, they share their treasure, their
capital with him, saying that this is our wealth. In the same way, when God
showers His immense grace, then from his treasure house, the most precious
things he gives to saints and great souls - take my child, take this treasure
that is with us.
If you get satsang then you must understand that it has come in God`s mind in a predominant way, or else why would God give satsang? We continue to be born and die, why the interference ? This is due to your supreme good. Whoever has received satsang, then he should understand that God has given him an invitation that come. Thakurji calls, you simply do satsang lovingly, be in worship and remembrance of the Lord, repeat His divine name.
All are independent in doing satsang. The Imperishable God is present everywhere. That God is mind, and I am his - understanding so, if one does satsang then you will be gratified.
Satsang is desire fulfilling plant. It can destroy sins of infinite years. The moment one becomes inclined towards the real, the unreal is destroyed. The unreal (perishable) is going to perish. It cannot remain alive. It has grabbed hold of the unreal. If he becomes inclined towards the real, then the unreal will undoubtedly perish. Satsang can get rid of the darkness in the form of ignorance. It can give you the post of the great eternal bliss. It bestows that post, what an exceptional point this is ! What does satsang not do? It does everything. `prasoote sadbudhim` Through satsang arises good mind-intellect. The intellect continues to get purified. Goswamiji Maharaj has written ’
मज्जन फल पखिय ततकाला । काक होहिं पिक बकउ मराला ॥
(मानस १/२/१)
By taking
a dip in the holy river in the community of saints, one attains immediate
fruit. Even a crow becomes a singing bird. A heron becomes a beautiful swan. In
other words, by doing satsang, the color does not change, but the mannerisms
and behavior changes. The speech that is like that of a crow, becomes like that
of a singing bird. The crane, develops the discriminative faculty like that of
a swan. With satsang the conduct and discrimination immediately changes. When
you get satsang, then these will change, and if they do not change then, either
one has not received proper satsang or you have not gone to satsang. It is only
on getting both that the work is accomplished. The philosopher`s stone, can
make iron into gold, if you get it. But even then if a leaf is in between the
two, then nothing can happen.
Selflessly love God, saints and great souls. May God appear dear, loving, and good. Why does God appear good? Because God is mine. A child finds his mother to be nice. Why does he find the mother to be nice? Because she is my mother. In the same way, have a feeling of my very own with God. This is satsang! God is mine, and I am God`s. What a great point this is.
