The Essence of Satsaṅga
An evening satsang discourse on the essence of spiritual community.
"Satsaṅga is the way to the cosmic self."
"One in all and all in one."
The lecturer addresses the gathering, defining Satsaṅga as the association with truth and contrasting it with negative company (kuśaṅga). Using vivid analogies—such as birds gathering at dusk, a flock of sheep, a family cook, and a fruit-bearing tree—he illustrates the harmony, oneness, and selfless service found in a spiritual community. He connects this to daily ashram life and concludes by emphasizing prayer and unity.
