Satya Sanātana Dharma Kī Jaya. Satsaṅga. ‘Sat’ means the truth, and ‘saṅga’ means association with the devotees. Those who come for satsaṅg are truthful people, searching for the personality of the truth. That is why only the bhaktas can come. Satsaṅg means living together, sitting together like brothers, sisters, friends, bhaktas, and yogīs. We can read many holy books. There are many, many books. Yes, there is knowledge there, definitely. But if you go only into the scriptures, then you are not coming to the cosmic Bhagavān, Guru, or Śiva. Knowledge is very, very important, but not only reading, reading, reading. There was one ṛṣi in the Himalayas. He was many years old, maybe 100 or 200 years. Then another saint came and asked, "Ṛṣi, how old are you?" He said, "I don’t know, but I am 3-4 years or more." He meant that for so many years he had been in sādhanā, engaged in spiritual practices. The saint then asked, "In so many years, you did not realize?" The ṛṣi replied, "Yes, but I think I am not yet complete." "Do you know what the Vedas are?" asked the saint. He said, "I don’t know." "Then read the Vedas," said the saint, and so the ṛṣi began to read the Vedas. It is not easy to read the Vedas. Many other religions, or some, have taken many words from the Vedas and claimed them as their own. They think they have it there, from the Vedas, but they say it is theirs. He was reading the Vedas, and this was about a hundred years ago. Dharmarāja said, "Now the ṛṣis should come; it is time for you to go." So he sent some messengers from Dharmarāja: "Go and bring this ṛṣi. It is time for him; he has been on earth for many, many years." The messenger came and said, "Ṛṣi, Dharmarāja has said it is time for you to come, please come." He said, "No, no, I did not learn completely. I want to learn the Vedas first." The messenger said, "But you will need 100 years." The ṛṣi said, "Yes, but it is very interesting. Please tell Dharmarāja to wait for me a little bit." Again and again, for many thousands of years, Dharmarāja said, "Tell him, please come." The ṛṣi said, "But I did not finish completely." The messenger replied, "You did not complete, and you will not complete. Better that you come." The ṛṣi said, "Tell him, please give me 50,000 years." Again, Dharmarāja said, "Please tell him to come." Well, in any case, humbly and properly, they were to bring him to Dharmarāja. Again, messengers came. "Ṛṣi, you are great, you are very, very old. All your bones and this... you cannot... now you come with us." He said, "But I did not finish the Vedas." They said, "It is a long, long time. It will be... maybe you will not end." He said, "What? I am in the Himalayas." The messenger said, "Ṛṣi, look with both your hands. Look into the peak of the Himalayas." A strong wind came, and sand came into his palms. The messenger said, "Ṛṣi, look what is in your hands." "Yes, it is the Himalayan dust," he replied. "You have not learned that much. Only from the Vedas have you learned this. But the whole Vedas are the Himalayas. Therefore, let’s go with us." He said so much. The ṛṣi finally said yes. So there are both together: study and insight to realize. Many people are only learning, learning, but inside they are empty. There are many books, many, many things, but we have to catch one point, one word. When the disciple said to Gurujī, "Gurujī, give me mantras," Gurujī said, "Yes, I give you mantras and this." After some years, the disciple said, "Gurujī, I am repeating the mantras every day, but I am still not learned. I did not find." Gurujī said, "Of course you did not find anything." Śabda. Guru Śabda. That time, after everything, the Guru's words, Gurudev, Gurudev’s voice inside. So is that? Every day is a different day. Life is a different day. You have the mantras that you should continue. But Śabda. Śabdasanehī Mārī, Atarā Mārī Helī, Śabdasat Jātmārī Helī, Māre Bhā. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai. Devā Dī Dev, Deveśvara Mahādeva, Mahādeva Kī Jai.
