Q&A - Don't avoid the Satsang

A spiritual discourse addressing the misconception that advanced disciples do not need satsang.

"Swāmījī gave them a very clear sign: they are indeed very highly developed, and they need not go to satsaṅg. Yes, they are very highly developed—in their ignorance."

"Whoever does not go to satsaṅg is the most ignorant. Mahāprabhujī stated very clearly, 'Fortunate are they who can go to satsaṅg.'"

The speaker, likely a teacher, critiques disciples who believe their spiritual advancement excuses them from communal gathering. He clarifies that this attitude is a sign of ignorance, not enlightenment, and emphatically stresses the indispensable importance of satsang, stating one should miss a meal before missing this practice.

The fourth question concerns some very advanced disciples who think they are so advanced that they need not attend satsaṅg. Swāmījī gave them a very clear sign: they are indeed very highly developed, and they need not go to satsaṅg. Yes, they are very highly developed—in their ignorance. Therefore, this thinking is completely mistaken. To whatever degree you are developed, you should go to satsaṅg. This question comes especially from Zagreb. Some there think that because they are among groups, they are very high and do not need satsaṅg. Whoever does not go to satsaṅg is the most ignorant. Mahāprabhujī stated very clearly, "Fortunate are they who can go to satsaṅg." Every bhajan of Mahāprabhujī and Gurujī indicates the importance of satsaṅg. Therefore, you may miss a meal, but do not miss satsaṅg. Recording location: Czech Republic, Strilky, Summer seminar
