Question - At no cost whatsoever one can benefit from satsang, how is it so?

Answer - The benefits that are derived from Satsang, such gains do not come about in doing spiritual practices. He who attains enlightenment by doing spiritual practices, he is like the one who becomes rich by earning money. Whereas by satsang , it is like getting adopted. The money that is already earned, he gets right away. He gets the wealth that is earned by the saints. What effort is involved for him who gets adopted? Today beggar, and tomorrow a millionaire. He simply got adopted. He becomes the owner of earned wealth. You can get such things with satsang, which you cannot get even on doing spiritual practices for years. Therefore if you get satsang, you must most certainly attend it. Absolutely for free, at no personal expense, you can attain salvation.




Questioner - Glories of satsang are expressed, even more than that of “Naam Japa” (Divine Name repetition). What is the reason for this?

Answer - The one who does satsang will not be able to live without doing Naam Japa (Divine Name repetition). Naam Japa will happen naturally in him.




Questioner - What to do if we do not get “satsang”?

Answer - Pray to the Lord ! Say - He Naath ! He Naath ! and call out to Him. God is Almighty! All capable ! If you keep calling out to Him, He will arrange for your satsang. Besides that, study the holy texts pertaining to the Real (Imperishable, Spirit).




Questioner - What is the best solution in improving a man? Explain supported by your experience?

Answer - Personally, the amount that I have benefited from satsang that much I have not benefited from any spiritual practice. By associating with holy company, there is such gains that there is no end to it. Do not leave satsang. That satsang by which the knot in your heart is released, self realization takes place, you gain the light of knowledge, do not leave such satsang.

You can get everything, but association of a saint is a rarity. सन्त समागम दुर्लभ भाई ।




Questioner - How does one get enlightenment through satsang?

Swamiji - The meaning of satsangati is light. Just as when we go somewhere at night, the light from the headlights of your car, remain in front of you. It is not that the light stays behind and you move on forward. The light will always remain ahead of you, and that light shows you the path ahead. In the same way, with satsangati man gets light so that he knows how to move forward. If you only memorize the talks of satsang, read them in books, tell them to others, but if we do not abide and follow those principles, then simply by shining the light, one will not be able to find the way. Now, even if the light is dim, but as long as we are able to see the road ahead, that much we inch forward, then in this way, we will be able to see what is further ahead. This is a principle. But if we stand in one place, and however much we keep shining the light at its full strength, the final destination will not be seen by you. In the same way, make your life according to the knowledge (light) that you gain through satsang, abide in those principles, then this light will be of aid. Even if you do not make your life according to these principles, then too that light of knowledge, will not be useless. Because the thing that is real, will manifest itself. Truth will always prevail. Untruth (unreal) will never be victorious. However if you honour and give precedence to the real, then very quickly you can get exceptional gains. Therefore we must apply the talks of satsang in our life.


Narayan! Narayan !! Narayan !!!
