Satsang is Divine intoxication

A discourse on the power and necessity of satsaṅg, or spiritual community.

"Whoever does not come to satsaṅg is an unlucky person."

"Satsaṅg is the key to self-realization; it inspires you toward God-realization."

The speaker, likely a spiritual teacher, opens with a bhajan from Mahāprabhujī about remembering the Guru and satsaṅg. He extols the holiness of those committed to a Guru's fellowship and addresses common excuses for avoiding it, arguing that one's negative thoughts create isolation. He emphasizes that constant remembrance of God is essential and that satsaṅg is the highest practice, a necessary "dose" of divine love, while also acknowledging that personal practice with technology can supplement it.

There is a beautiful bhajan from Mahāprabhujī. In it, he writes: "Satgurū satsaṅgyārī olo āve re. Satgurū satsaṅgyārī olo āve re." This is a Rajasthani phrase meaning "yād ātī hai"—"I remember." It is written in Hindi. "Satgurū satsaṅgyārī." All satsaṅgīs are disciples of the Gurudev; it does not matter which Gurudev. Together, they form a small flame or a great fire. The saints are holy saints. Satsaṅgyārī—those who are disciples of a Gurū, the Gurudev, the brothers and sisters committed to the satsaṅg—are very holy. Those who are fortunate receive the blessing to come to this. Whoever does not come to satsaṅg is an unlucky person. You may think negatively: "The people are not so good. They don't like me." But ask yourself: are you going for the people, or are you going for the Gurudev? Are you going for the people, or are you going for God? How do you know they don't like you? They don't like you because you think like that. You don't like them, so they don't like you. If you think every day, "I am lonely, unhappy, no one loves me, nothing," then yes, you are unhappy because you think like that. If you think, "I am happy," then you are happy. If you think this world is created out of the moon, then you are all the time in the divine. If you have God in your mind, you are all the time with God. For God-realization, you must have God in your mind. But if you are criticizing everyone and think you are self-realized, that you don't need to go to satsaṅg, then this is a sign that you are the most foolish one. Satsaṅg is the key to self-realization; it inspires you toward God-realization. So, think of my group brothers and sisters. Similarly, without satsaṅg, I die. That is the meaning of satsaṅg. Satsaṅg is the highest. Be free; that is very important. See that drug? This drug is suffering; it's called divine talk. We are divine love in the satsaṅg. If we don't have satsaṅg every day, then we are missing some doses. If you are alone at home, do your kriyā, do your mālā, listen to your bhajans, watch the video. With modern technology, we have everything; you can make satsaṅg at home. Recording location: Australia, Sydney, Australian Tour
