The Final Satsaṅg
A final satsang discourse on spiritual practice, destiny, and devotion.
"Our good or bad destiny is created by our actions and deeds." "Only the one who is fortunate will get it, and the one who is sinful will not get it."
A spiritual teacher addresses the gathering on their last day, reflecting on the recent Kumbh Mela and the nature of grace. He explains concepts like destiny (karma), the two types of seekers (Lakṣārthī and Vācaratī), and the importance of sincere devotion over selfish desire. Using parables about a sandalwood fly, a crow and a swan, and a test with a moong grain, he illustrates how past actions and inner purity determine one's attraction to truth. He stresses the need for unity, criticizes casteism and hypocrisy, and concludes by emphasizing that true meditation and knowledge come only through a Guru's grace.
