Ambrosia of Satsang

The word Sat-sang has a deep meaning associated with it. “Sat” is the Supreme Truth, the ultimate Reality, the eternal Consciousness, the God. “Sang” means the company. Satsang is the divine company of Truth- the omnipresent, eternal, conscious, supremely peaceful, pure, complete, blissful and divine Truth.

The routine meaning of the word Satsang is associated with the company of Saints who have realized the Supreme Truth, who have realized the true Self. To be around the holy Saints, to listen to their talks, to read their holy scriptures under their guidance, to perform self-analysis of such spiritual wisdom – all of this is commonly known as Satsang.

Life is a mystery and only Satsang can help us to solve this divine mystery. Satsang is the only remedy in this world for the sorrow and restlessness of mind. Only satsang can bring deep long lasting blissfulness amidst this chaotic ever changing material world. Only Satsang can help one to absorb true virtues of life like kindness and selflessness. Only Satsang can make you truly fearless by resolving all kinds of fears including the fear of death. Only Satsang can help you gain some understanding of your own true nature and the reality of this world. Only Satsang can help you gain control over your ever vacillating, thought spinning and restless mind. Only Satsang can introduce you to your own true Self. Only satsang can introduce you to the deep, eternal peace that is ever present within. Only Satsang can introduce you to the divinity within.
