By Sant Kirpal Singh, from the book "Morning Talks" 1967-12-27, Delhi, Sawan Ashram Talk available as mp3 at audio.sant-kirpal-singh.org I was just speaking something about Satsang, or joining the holy congregation of a Saint. It is a school where you are not only taught but are given a demonstration of the God within you. If you want to become educated in a particular subject, you have to go to a school or college where that subject is taught. If you want to learn about your physical body, how it is retarded and how it can be renewed, you have to go to a school where the subject of how to have sound health is taught. If you want to learn engineering, you will have to go to a school where there is some engineer to teach you. So really, this school where you are now sitting is a school where "how to meet God" is taught. Satsang is a school where somebody is sitting who knows God, who sees God and who is competent to give others some demonstration of the God within them, some capital to start with. Such a school only is called Satsang. The word "Satsang" means actually uniting the soul with the all pervading, all existing God. This is possible only when our soul has been analyzed from mind and the outgoing faculties. When we know ourselves, only then are we in a position to know the God who is pervading all, who is controlling all, in whom we live and have our being. So this school which you are attending is called Satsang. We have joined it in order to have a contact with God. This is only possible when some man is there who sees God and is able to make others see Him. The God-in-man or man-in-God sees God everywhere and in everybody. Those who become receptive to Him also begin to see God in everybody. It is the God-man who can give you a contact, a demonstration of the God within you and everywhere. Your teaching truly starts when you rise above body consciousness. You are then on the way to know your Self and then the Overself, who is controlling you within the body. The whole Universe is under His control. So if you want to know God, you must join some school where there is somebody who knows God, who sees God and who is competent to give you something to start with, some demonstration of the God Power which is already within you. If you go to a cloth seller who sells only silken goods and ask him for an iron bar, will he be able to give you? Of course not. If you go to a school that teaches how to use machinery and you ask them to teach you how to know God, will they be able to give you any demonstration of Him? Not the least. Similarly, when you go to a school to know God, it is only truly a school where you can know Him if somebody is there who has a contact with God and is competent to give you something to start with. When you find such a school, the question arises as to how can you derive the full benefit of attending it? When you go there you should forget everything else. Leave everything behind you, your heart and home, your environments, even your body. When you see the God-in-man sitting there, you should put your whole attention into His eyes, wherein plays the soul of the God in Him. Eyes are the windows of the soul. His soul is saturated with the love of God, shining with the glory of God. If you become receptive to Him, you will learn the ABC of spirituality which is given without spoken words. You will always think of Him and as you think, so you become. One who can do this is called a Gurmukh. He can derive the full benefit of attending the Satsang. Those who come here are fortunate. They should forget the past, the outward environments and be here only with the God-in-man in front of them. You should become receptive, forgetting your body and all outward things. If your body is sitting here and your mind is roaming about outside to different things, you cannot derive the benefit of attending the Satsang. Again I should like to impress on you that Satsang is a school that can rightly be called a Satsang if somebody is there who has seen God, who knows God and has contact with Him. He is inebriated with the love of God, and love overflows from Him by radiation. If you want to derive the full benefit of attending this school, you will have to forget your environments, those who are sitting around you and even your physical body. You should be attentive to the God-in-man in front of you. In this way, you will learn many things by radiation, through being receptive. Soul speaks to soul without spoken words. At Satsang, you are given two things together. First the theory is explained by spoken words and you are also given some capital through the eyes. This is radiated to the expectant one who comes to attend the school for the purpose of knowing God. Such schools are rare. There are many schools where people only talk about past histories and theory as given by the Rishis of olden days. They might give you some quotations from past Masters, but that is for the purpose of only understanding. Unless you can have some demonstration to start with, how can you derive full benefit from the theory? A man may give a wonderful talk on the subject of how to run a business successfully. A very wonderful talk he gives. But if the people around him have got no money to start with, what good does the lecture do for them? If you are able to have some capital to start with, only then will the lecture be of some substantial benefit to you. This is a school of spirituality. First the theory is explained by giving references to the Masters who came in the past, who saw God and who made others see God. "The Son knows the Father and others whom the Son reveals". God resides in every heart, He is the Controlling Power who is keeping the soul in the body. References are given about these things to help those attending the Satsang to understand what is what. But that alone won’t do. There must be somebody who is above feelings, emotions and drawing inferences. He sees God and makes others develop an eye to enable them to see God within them. He gives you something to start with. He gives a contact with the ever Unchangeable Permanence, which is God. For that outer rituals are not required. You should come as a man, shorn of all outer formations and badges. Forget everything when you attend and learn at the feet of somebody who knows God and who is competent to give you something to start with. First the theory is to be understood. The Masters who came in the past did see God and they were also competent to give something to start with to those who came to them. Second, you are given a demonstration. So you are fortunate, I would say, in attending a school where something to start with is given, with the grace of God. If you want to derive the full benefit of what you have been given and of attending the Satsang, you will have to become receptive. That will come by keeping the commandments of the God-in-man or the man-in-God. So you have come here for this purpose. You are fortunate and should make the best use of it. Forget everything of your hearts and homes, the outward environments and while you are here, forget even your body. Become fully receptive by looking into the eyes of the God-in-man. His soul speaks through the eyes to the souls who are receptive. Spirituality cannot be taught but caught, like an infection, through the eyes. You are fortunate in having such a school with the grace of God, but it is for you to make the best use of it by attending it in the way just explained to you. Remain in whatever creed or religion you are, that makes no difference. You are a man first. These badges that you are wearing affect only the outer body. These things make no difference to the spiritual man. You are a man with equal rights given by God and further you are a conscious entity, you are ensouled bodies. Your soul is of the same essence as that of God overhead. You are a drop of the Ocean of all Consciousness. As man you are one. As soul you are one. You are all worshippers of the same God overhead.

Malo prije sam govorio o Satsangu ili boravku u društvu sveca. Satsang je jedna škola u kojoj ne samo da učite o Bogu, već dobivate i iskustvo Boga u vama. Ako se želite obrazovati na nekom području, morate ići u školu ili na fakultet gdje se o tome uči. Ako želite nešto naučiti o vašem fizičkom tijelu, što ga čini slabim i kako može ponovo ojačati, morate ići u školu gdje se uči kako biti zdrav. Ako želite postati inženjer, morate ići u školu gdje vas o tome uče inženjeri. Naime, škola u kojoj sada sjedite je škola u kojoj se uči kako susresti Boga. Satsangje škola u kojoj poučava netko tko poznaje Boga, tko vidi Boga i tko je kompetentan drugima dati iskustvo Boga u njima, dati im neki početni kapital. Samo se takva škola zove Satsang. Riječ "Satsang" zapravo znači ujediniti dušu sa sveprisutnim, svepostojećim Bogom. To je moguće tek kada se naša duša odvoji od uma i vanjskih osjetila. Tek onda kada spoznamo sebe, u mogućnosti smo spoznati Boga, koji sve prožima i kontrolira, u kojem živimo i postojimo. Dakle, ova škola u koju idete zove se Satsang. Mi je pohađamo da bismo dobili kontakt s Bogom. To je jedino moguće kada je u njoj čovjek koji vidi Boga i koji može omogućiti da i drugi vide Boga. Bog-u-čovjeku ili čovjek-u-Bogu vidi Boga svugdje i u svakome. Oni koji postanu receptivni, otvoreni prema Njemu, također počinju vidjeti Boga u svakome. Bog-čovjek je taj koji vam može dati kontakt, iskustvo Boga koji je u vama i svugdje. Tek kada se uzdignete iznad svijesti tijela, počinjete stvarno učiti. Tada ste na putu da spoznate vaše pravo ja, a zatim Nad-ja, koje vas kontrolira u tijelu. Čitav univerzum je pod Njegovom kontrolom. Dakle, ako želite spoznati Boga, dođite u školu gdje je onaj tko poznaje Boga, tko vidi Boga i tko je kompetentan dati vam nešto za početak, jedno iskustvo Božje Snage koja je već u vama. Ako odete k trgpvcu tkaninama koji prodaje samo robu od svile i od njega zatražite željeznu polugu, može li vam je dati? Naravno da ne. Ako odete u školu gdje se uči kako upravljati strojevima i tamo postavite pitanje kako spoznati Boga, mogu li vam tamo dati iskustvo Njega? Ne, ni najmanje. Slično tome, škola u koju idete kako biste spoznali Boga prava je škola ako je u njoj onaj tko ima kontakt s Bogom i kompetentan je dati vam nešto s čime možete započeti. Kada pronađete takvu školu, pitanje je kako iz nje izvući potpunu dobrobit? Kada dođete tamo, zaboravite na sve ostalo. Ostavite sve iza vas, vaš dom i posao, vašu okolinu, čak i vaše tijelo. Kada vidite Boga-u-čovjeku koji tamo sjedi, svu vašu pažnju usmjerite na Njegove oči, tamo gdje progovara duša Boga u Njemu. Oči su prozori duše. Njegova duša je natopljena Božjom ljubavlju, ona sjaji Božjom slavom. Ako postanete receptivni, uvijek ćete misliti na Njega i ono što mislite, to postajete. Onaj tko tako radi naziva se Gurmukh. On može izvući potpunu dobrobit od dolaska na Satsang. Oni koji dolaze ovdje sretnici su. Zaboravite na prošlost, vanjsko okruženje i budite ovdje samo s Bogom-u-čovjeku koji je pred vama. Trebali biste postati receptivni, zaboraviti vaše tijelo i sve vanjske stvari. Ako vaše tijelo sjedi ovdje, a um luta negdje vani i bavi se drugim stvarima, ne možete izvući dobrobit dolaženja na Satsang. Ponovo vam moram naglasiti da je Satsang škola koja se s pravom naziva Satsang, ako se tamo nalazi netko tko je vidio Boga, tko poznaje Boga i ima kontakt s Njim. On je opijen Božjom ljubavlju i ljubav zračenjem izlazi iz Njega. Ako želite izvući potpunu korist od odlaženja u tu školu, zaboravite na vašu okolinu, na one koji sjede oko vas, čak i na vaše fizičko tijelo. Neka vaša pažnja bude s Bogom-u-čovjeku koji je pred vama. Na taj način naučit ćete mnoge stvari kroz zračenje, ako ste receptivni. Duša govori duši bez izgovorenih riječi. Na Satsangu vam se daju dvije stvari zajedno. Najprije je izgovorenim riječima objašnjena teorija, a zatim vam je dan jedan kapital, kroz oči. To zrači k onome koji to želi dobiti, tko u tu školu dolazi da bi spoznao Boga. Takve škole su rijetke. Postoje mnoge škole gdje ljudi samo pričaju priče iz prošlosti i o teoriji, onako kako su to činili rishiji u prijašnjim vremenima. Oni vam mogu dati neke citate prošlih Učitelja, ali to služi samo za vaše razumijevanje tih stvari. Ako ne možete dobiti iskustvo s kojim možete započeti, kako možete izvući punu dobrobit iz teorije? Netko može prekrasno govoriti o tome kako uspješno voditi poslove. On može jako lijepo govoriti, ali ako ljudi koji ga slušaju nemaju novaca s kojim će započeti, od kakve im je koristi predavanje? Ako možete dobiti početni kapital, tek tada će vam predavanje biti od prave koristi. Ovo je škola spiritualnosti. Najprije je objašnjena teorija u kojoj se govori o Učiteljima koji su dolazili u prošlosti, koji su vidjeli Boga i koji su i drugima omogućili da vide Boga. "Sin poznaje Oca i onaj komu Sin htjedne objaviti." Bog prebiva u svakom srcu. On je Snaga koja nas kontrolira i koja drži dušu u tijelu. O svemu tome se govori da bi oni koji dolaze na Satsang mogli dobro razumijeti teoriju. Ali to samo nije dovoljno. Tamo mora biti netko tko je iznad osjećaja, emocija i logičkog razmišljanja. On vidi Boga i pomaže drugima da razviju to oko, da mogu vidjeti Boga u sebi. On vam daje nešto za početak. On daje kontakt sa vječno Nepromjenjivom Trajnošću, koja je Bog. Za to nisu potrebni vanjski rituali. Dođite kao čovjek, lišeni svih vanjskih obilježja i etiketa. Kada dolazite na Satsang i učite uz stopala nekog koji poznaje Boga i koji je kompetentan dati vam nešto za početak, zaboravite sve ostalo. Prvo treba dobro razumjeti teoriju. Učitelji koji su došli u prošlosti vidjeli su Boga i bili su kompetentni dati nešto s čime će započeti oni koji su došli k njima. Drugo, dano vam je neko iskustvo. Zato ste sretnici, rekao bih, što pohađate školu gdje se daje nešto za početak, Božjom milošću. Ako želite izvući potpunu dobrobit iz onoga što vam je dano i od dolaženja na Satsang, postanite receptivni. Do toga će doći ako se budete pridržavali zapovijedi Boga-u-čovjeku ili čovjeka-u-Bogu. Dakle, s tim ciljem ste došli ovamo. Sretnici ste i trebali biste to iskoristiti na najbolji način. Zaboravite sve: dom i kućne poslove, vanjsku okolinu, i dok ste ovdje, zaboravite čak i na vaše tijelo. Postanite potpuno receptivni gledajući u oči Boga-u-čovjeku. Njegova duša govori kroz oči dušama koje su receptivne. Spiritualnost se ne može naučiti, već uhvatiti kao zaraza, očima. Sretni ste što imate takvu školu, milošću Božjom, ali na vama je da iz nje izvučete potpunu dobrobit pohađajući je na način koji vam je upravo objašnjen. Ostanite u onoj vjeri ili religiji kojoj pripadate, to nije važno. Vi ste prije svega čovjek. Ova vanjska obilježja koja nosite tiču se samo vanjskog tijela. Spiritualnom čovjeku te stvari nisu važne. Vi ste čovjek s jednakim pravima koje vam je dao Bog i zatim, vi ste svjesno biće, vi ste utjelovljena duša. Vaša duša je od iste bîti kao i ona od Boga nad nama. Vi ste kap oceana Svesvijesti. Kao čovjek, vi ste jedno. Kao duša, vi ste jedno. Svi vi štujete jednog te istog Boga nad nama.
