We need a boat to cross the ocean
Satsang is the boat to cross the ocean of worldly illusion. This gathering connects you to divine energy through remembrance of saints and divine figures, just as typing a name summons a specific video. Your thoughts create immediate light or darkness; positive thinking enlightens, while negative thinking poisons. When leading satsang, one must speak as an instrument of the divine, not from ego. The divine light dwells in every heart; no heart is empty. Enter the boat with trust, and the captain will guide you to the shore. If you dwell in doubt while present, you will not taste the nectar of wisdom. Centers of practice exist worldwide; welcome all seekers with love, not conditions. Love unites; jealousy divides. The festival of lights celebrates the divine light entering the world, a blissful dawn from darkness. This light is the same across all traditions; seeing difference is duality. The divine smile is an expression of this light, attracting naturally like a beautiful flower. A mantra, seated within, becomes a light of wisdom, confidence, and love, awakening one from ignorance. Practice with faith, without doubt.
"Sab ghaṭ mera sanyā, koī ghaṭ khālī naye. In every heart my God is dwelling, no heart is empty."
"Gurudev takes upon himself the destiny of the devotees."
