The One God and the Boat of Satsang
A satsang discourse on spiritual unity and the importance of spiritual community.
"If there is one God, it is the cosmic God, the omnipresent, the light, the knowledge, the grace, and so on."
"Satsang is the boat to cross the ocean of ignorance. The ocean we cannot cross... but there is a boat, and that boat is the Satsang."
Swami Avatarpuri (Vishvaguruji) addresses a gathering, responding to a question about visiting different places of worship. He emphasizes the oneness of God beyond all divisions and explains the critical role of satsang (spiritual community) as the vehicle for crossing life's ocean of ignorance and reaching liberation. He is joined briefly by Swami Gyaneshvari Puri, who shares his gratitude.
