Celebration of Mahaprabhujis Mahasamdhi (2/3)
Satsang is a divine grace attained through lifetimes of accumulated merit. The true purpose of human life is not mere worldly sustenance, which even animals perform, but to perform devotion and spiritual practice while living within the family. Without the Guru's grace, nothing is attained. A saint gradually transforms an ignorant person's perception through mantra, revealing the divine within. God manifests eternally in great sages and also incarnates specifically to restore dharma. There is no difference between a saint and God. Approach the Guru or temple not with a list of worldly desires, but solely seeking divine grace and focus of mind. Satsang is a rare and priceless opportunity; one must partake in its joy and benefit fully while the body endures.
"Without the grace of the Guru, we will not get anything."
"Go to the temple of God, then always ask for this: that my mind should focus on my work."
