Be In Satsang With The Wise And Evolve
To be in the company of the wise in satsang, is very important. More than the words, it is their presence; more than the logic, it is their love; more than the structure of the path, it is the structure-less understanding in the life of a seeker. Thought has a structure. You try to comprehend something that does mot conform to a structure through structure of thought. Therefore, be in the company of the wise. Being constantly in satsang gives you nissanga, solitude. Then mirmoha happens, delusion loses its grip on you. Once that happens, what emerges is niscalatattvam, unchangeable reality, and one is able to experiencejivanmukti, a state of liberation. A master taught a disciple all that he knew. Having taught all the scriptures, he told the disciple that for the final teaching he would have to go to a nearby ashram. Trusting the words of his guru he set out to meet the other guru in the nearby ashram. To his utter surprise he found that the new guru had stopped teaching; he was only lovingly serving food to everybody in the ashram The guru himself would cook and would serve, and he would clean the left overs and wash the dishes. Later the disciple noticed something unusual. The guru himself washed the dishes and kept them in order before he went to sleep. Next morning, he would take out the dishes, and wash them again before cooking. He observed all such details and came back to narrate to his earlier guru The disciple narrated, "I cannot understand why the guru you sent me to, in the nearby ashram, should wash the already cleaned vessels again in the morning!" To which his guru replied, "Yes, this is what I wanted you to observe and get totally. You cleanse your mind regularly but your mind the speaking tree starts collecting dust along the way in the form of clutter, and also foggy understanding. So long as your mind gathers dust, it has to be cleansed. It has to be an ongoing process. You have to go on purifying the mind. "Therefore, there is a mention of Asakrit upadesha. Asakrit means until you understand. Constantly listen. Go on listening till you are one with the understanding-Pounena Shraavana kuriyaSo, satsang will give you solitudand detachment that removes delusion so that you start realising Truth. Once you know the Truth, lose the grip of samsara in spite being insamsaara. This is the way. This is the path. This is the direction. This is the destination. And therefore, 'Bhaja GovindaBhaja Govindam, Govindam Bhajamudhamate. Samprapte sannihitekale na hina hi raksatidukrn Kara Seek Govindam, seek Govindam.
