What is True Satsang ? - Swami explains wonderfully

[Guest guest]

Satsang means experience of unity. Today people think that Satsang means a congregation of spiritual aspirants. People join such congregations and think that they are in Satsang. But it is not Satsang in the true sense of the term because people whom you think to be good may turn wicked. They are bound to change. How can such temporary association confer everlasting happiness? It is impossible.

 

People have not understood the true meaning of Satsang and its significance. Tell me your company I shall tell you who you are. When you associate yourself with ephemeral things, the results also are bound to be transitory. You should develop friendship with Divinity which alone is true and eternal. Divinity is very much present in you. You cannot find it outside. The external world is subject to change. The world is nothing but a combination of matter. Everything in this world is transitory. Nothing is permanent. All that is seen in this world is illusory. The unseen Atmic principle alone is true and eternal"
