You should have a Satsang in every Center
Satsaṅg and deep reflection on spiritual teachings are essential. Hold gatherings to read from sacred texts. Then, engage in manana, meaning to think over and grasp the essence of what was read. You must reflect deeply. Consider how a person dwells on a casual insult all day, feeling shame and repeatedly questioning it. Apply that same persistent, contemplative focus to the Guru's words. Reflect upon spiritual teachings with that intensity until you discover the truth within them. The practice is to contemplate the sacred utterance because of its profound significance.
"Similarly, you should also think about spiritual words, the Guru Vākyas. Reflect upon them until you find the truth within them."
"In the same manner, you must contemplate the Guru Vākya because of the significance of what is said."
