Words of Swami Ramdas
Meaning of Satsang: Satsang means contact of Truth, which is God. Satsang can be had either in the company of saints or by conversing, singing or reading about God and His glories by a group of His devotees.
Satsang the first step on the Path: Satsang is said to be the first step on the path of God-realization. If you have no Satsang you cannot step on the path. If you taste once the sweetness of God- remembrance, you will never forgo Him. You will have the first taste of that experience in Satsang only.
Benefits of Satsang: In Satsang you can have your doubts cleared. You get encouragement for progressing on the spiritual path. It is important. When you are in Satsang you become free from desires.
Satsang must be within: Satsang will give you all that you want. Satsang must be within, not outside alone. Satsangethwe Nissangathwam Nissangathwe Nirmohathwam Nirmohathwe Nischalatathwam Niscalatathwae Jeevanmukti From Bhaja Govindam
