If anyone has been hurt or offended by anything I said, I sincerely apologize. But I still want to say that this thought arose deeply in my heart, so I couldn't resist.
Today, the situation is such that if a saint or a mahatma conducts satsang, it is considered a kind of business. Millions and millions of people come forward to support their programs—whether they are industrialists, politicians, or ordinary people. But the sad truth is that this does not bring about any concrete change in the lives of the people of the country.
Satsang comes from peace of mind, and positive thinking comes from our own will and understanding.
The Bhagavad Gita, the Ramayana, and the Sunderkand—all of these contain every wisdom we can read and apply in our lives. What is the truth of life, what is deceit and fraud—everyone knows this well.
But on the other hand, those who work to eliminate poverty, hunger, and unemployment in the country…those who are dedicated to the welfare of society…those who strive to advance the education, employment, or skills of the needy…they receive neither the same respect nor the same support from society.
Why is this?
We must understand how valuable the money we earn through our hard work is. If we invest even a small portion of our earnings in causes that truly advance society, the burden of poverty in the country can be reduced, the disabled can receive support,unemployed youth can gain opportunities,and countless hidden talents can be revealed to society.
True satsang is where, along with peace of mind, there is also concern for the welfare of society.Where we apply the knowledge written in books to our lives and become a light in the lives of others.
