Humans are very good and not good at the same time
A spiritual discourse on the essence of satsaṅg and universal consciousness.
"Sat and saṅg, these two come together; that's enough. Always try to see yourself."
"Life is one. They don't understand, but we know, humans, we know. That's good, yes, very good. But that life, whether it is a human or an ant, is okay."
A spiritual teacher delivers an extemporaneous talk, exploring the meaning of true company (satsaṅg) and the singular life force in all beings. He uses parables, including one about a skeptic and God on a Himalayan rock face, and reflections on human nature versus animals to illustrate the unity of existence and the importance of non-violence. The discourse includes devotional singing.
