Instructions for Holding Satsang

by

Param Sant Kirpal Singh (Ek Onkar)

 

SATSANG, as the term implies, is association with Sat or Truth. Satsang meetings should therefore be exclusively devoted to the discourses on Sat, which in its broader connotation includes talks on God, Soul, Word, the relation between Soul and God on the one hand, and Soul and the Universe on the other, the God-Way or the path of God-realization, and the Godman or Spiritual Master, what He is, His need and importance, and His teachings. It also includes discourses on allied topics like ethical life, love, faith, compassion, and all that which makes way for the healthy and progressive development of Divine Life leading to efflorescence of spirit in cosmic awareness.

 

• HE PURPOSE OF SATSANG

as Circular No. 4, under this title, and includes the basic guidelines laid down by the Master for conducting Satsang meetings.
