Spiritual practice and love. Don't miss the Satsang -- but the Satsang should be SATSANG!

A spiritual discourse using agricultural metaphors to describe the cultivation of compassion and wisdom through satsaṅg.

"Gurū Dev has shown us the water well. Now we must give water to these young plants. That water well is satsaṅg."

"Lucky are they who can go to satsaṅg, and unlucky are they who do not. It is said that no matter how far or difficult the path is, one should never miss satsaṅg."

The speaker explains that compassion (dayā) makes the heart's field green, but it requires the nourishing "water" of satsaṅg to grow the fruits of wisdom and love. He describes the harvest as a time when one's senses, like workers or bees, naturally gather this spiritual knowledge. He cautions against bad company (kusaṅg), urges sharing wisdom with others, and concludes by emphasizing the preciousness of life for self-realization, recommending the study of sacred texts like the Līlā Amṛt.

Dayā dharam hariyali sai. Then your field became beautifully green. All the seeds you put in the ground have grown. This means dayā: compassion towards all creatures. A spiritual love awakens within you—kindness, love, and attention towards all. But there is no water anymore, no rain. It is drying out. This means there is no rain of wisdom, no rain of blessing. Yet, Gurū Dev has shown us the water well. Now we must give water to these young plants. That water well is satsaṅg. You receive intuition in satsaṅg; you receive motivation in satsaṅg; you receive wisdom. That wisdom is like nectar raining upon your heart. Lucky are they who can go to satsaṅg, and unlucky are they who do not. It is said that no matter how far or difficult the path is, one should never miss satsaṅg. And satsaṅg should be a true satsaṅg: Mahāprabhujī's words, Mahāprabhujī's bhajans, Mahāprabhujī's Līlā Amṛt, and so on. That is a water well of nectar, endless. What happens now? Now come the fruits. Oh. Sankhyāan mil toor na jāyī sab, nepe ikatī karalo bā, nepe ikatī karalo, phir to na bhai phir to sabana re nibbāna re nibbāna. Mujhika bachana nibbāna. Now my field is blossoming; the crops are ready to harvest. What kind of fruits? The fruits of knowledge, wisdom, kindness, humbleness, love, and understanding. Now all the ladies, all the workers in the field, go to collect the fruits. Why "ladies"? Here, "ladies" means our sūratā—our intention, our senses. Now your senses are so happy, completely satisfied. All are concentrated on that wisdom. When beautiful flowers blossom in summer, all the bees go to collect the honey. Bees do not go to dirt; you will never see a bee sitting on a toilet, because its nature is to go to the flowers to collect nectar. But those who do not have the nature of a bee, who have the nature of another fly that sits on toilets, will never go to get honey from the flowers. So those who have the mantra, those who are pure in heart and whose inside is filled with bhakti—all their feelings and senses are concentrated on those crops, going automatically to satsaṅg. No one is invited to satsaṅg, but everyone must go. Recently, we were at the Kumbh Melā. You know how many millions of people were bathing? More than twenty-five million. No one had an invitation to go to the Kumbh Melā, but they came. No one died from hunger; everyone was happy. No one blamed anyone for poor organization; they went with the law. Similarly, we go to satsaṅg automatically. That person never says, "I do not like this person in satsaṅg, I do not like this organizer, I do not love this." If you say such things, it means you are that fly who sits on the toilet. So you should be like a honey bee. All went to collect. Let us harvest our spiritual energy, our spiritual knowledge. Spirituális energiánkat, spirituális tudásunkat. Firtó rászbanána he, and let us make some tools or some parts to carry it home. És hozzuk az edényeket, amelyben hazasállíthatjuk. So your heart becomes that big vessel where you can collect all of this. Az a szíved, az a hatalmas edény, az a tároló, amiben haza tudod vinni. Your buddhi, your intellect, your brain becomes that endless vessel; you can collect as much as you like. A buddhita, az intelektusod, az agyad vájon, az a hatalmas edényé, amelyben annyit tudsz hazavinni, amennyit akarsz. But what will you do with so much harvesting, so many crops? What will you do? Therefore it is said: Mā Paramolak Payā Vāparā Yā Tabā Merā Man Mā Bhai Tabā Merā Vachana Nibā. Now you have to be very careful. You have to concentrate; you have to follow the discipline. Create the discipline; create the barriers between satsaṅg and kusaṅg; do not go towards kusaṅg. Otherwise, you will lose everything. You know, many times people, just because of one man, leave their entire spiritual families. And after five years, that man pushed this lady under the screws, driver, and the pressure. You brought everything home. It means you have now brought your cetanā, your concentration, yourself to your own home. This means ātmā jñāna. When you gain spiritual energy, when you gain spiritual knowledge, do not keep it only for yourself. You cannot digest it. This awakening of spiritual consciousness needs the flow. That means you should give satsaṅg. You should share your spirituality with others. Bechenko Bajar Siddhaya went to sell the goods in the market. Vāpar mól a mólak páya, and there I got a price, very much. So much that people were not able to value it. When I spoke in satsaṅg, when I appeared full of love and humbleness—when I had no doubts, no jealousy, no anger, only love and wisdom—people said, "Oh, what a spiritual man or woman," both. Then I was content; then I was satisfied. That I have got this knowledge—how did I realize this? Prabhupāda Pradīpa Kheti Nipjai Pradīpa Kheti Pradīpa Kheti Nipjai Pradīpa Imaṅgilāl kahe mere man bhai māg Viralasant jan meram pāī Viralasant jan meram pāī Bhai avadhūta rūpa pisanahe Re nibānahe. Mahāprabhujī helped these crops. Harvesting was possible. And Maṅgilāljī said, then I was content. Birlā Śāntajan Mehra Majanī. Very few, very rare saints got this understanding or this hint. Very rare are those who understand the Gurū Kṛpā. Avadhūta Rūpa Paisaniye. They got the realization of Avadhūta. Avadhūta means the self-realized one, the one with the Supreme, one without a second. And how? Through following the Guruvākya. Guruvākya követése áltan. Nibbāna, hernī bāna, satta gurujīkā bachana, nibbāna, hernī bāna, hernī bāna, ... jānī gurujīkā bachana, nibbāna, hernī bāna, hernī bāna, ... hernī bāna. Dear ones, life is very precious but very short. This life is given to realize God within our consciousness, to know thyself. Who are you? For that, we need to be healthy. We need to be balanced. We need to be content. And for that, there are some exercises, what we call yoga: āsanas and prāṇāyāmas, some kriyās. These are all for your physical and mental development, but finally, that is different. So Maṅgilāljī was a very great saint living a family life. You shall read in the Līlā Amṛt. Everyone, do you have the Līlā Amṛt of Mahāprabhujī? Who would you have written? Before going to sleep tonight, you must read this. Tonight, before you go, read this.
