Hari OM
Satsang is generally not a timed item. There may be formal scheduling, but it can take place wherever one is in the company of the master... and can occur in just a few words. For 'sat' means 'true' and 'sang(a)' means 'community'. Therefore it is the sitting in true communion - implying intent of purpose in the gathering and the potential for expansion from it.
To sit in the company of such a master, often words are not required. I have attended many satsangs with my teachers where silence has been the mode of communication. It is a wonderful experience.
Thought is powerful and when in community with others of similar thinking, there is unquestionably an energy that arises within one.
Thus it is important to remember, as Gurudev said:
"Thoughtless action and actionless thought can both cause sorrow and suffering. Therefore, act thoughtfully!"
Thank you for the satsang today Yamini.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a hectic few days for me and reading this post made me still. So happy for the pause your posts provide.
Hari Om.
