We are one in the Satsang
A spiritual discourse on the essence of true spiritual fellowship (satsaṅg).
"We all wish to share with one another. If I know I am very happy and I am here for satsaṅg with my friends, my sisters, with you, then it means we are our own Guru."
"Satsaṅg means together... We should think only one, only one, and how? We are so many, and that is only one, yes, because that is yours for all."
Swami Avatarpuri (Swāmījī) addresses a gathering, explaining the profound meaning of satsaṅg by breaking it into sat (truth, purity) and saṅg (togetherness). He contrasts deep, familial connection with transient lecture attendance, urging attendees to embody selfless, motherly care and genuine oneness, free from judgment. The talk blends philosophical definition with personal anecdotes from his travels and concludes with a line from a bhajan.
