Humans are very good and not good at the same time
Satsaṅg is the essence of true connection with the eternal. Sat is the supreme reality, and saṅg is the gathering. This union is profoundly pure. Recognize the self upon awakening: "I am." This is the foundation. All life is one, from humans to the smallest creature. The distinction is illusory. Human life is brief, ending in death for all beings. A story illustrates this: a man denying God clings to a cliff in peril. Only in desperation does he call for divine help, revealing that understanding often comes through direct experience. Human nature contains both good and great violence, which contradicts our spiritual essence. Singing sacred names in bhajan holds great knowledge. The unity of all life should guide action away from harm.
"Sat is Paramātmā. Sat-saṅg: we are all together."
"Life is one. They don’t understand, but we know, humans, we know."
