True happiness – the bliss of sat chit ananda is to be found in the heavenly abode.
Satsang can indeed help you to get an entry into these portals of peace and happiness. For the angels themselves visit places where there are pure and holy vibrations. These angels register your presence and your absence in the satsang. It is not for nothing that worried, anxious, stressed people, who come to satsang as a matter of routine, always find themselves feeling so much lighter and better when they leave!
Once, when I attended a satsang at Ahmedabad, I saw that all the devotees had to wash their feet under the running water, before they entered the holy precincts of the satsang hall. This is a deeply symbolic gesture that Hindus adopt in many of their places of worship. It actually means that we cleanse ourselves of our worldly desires and enter the satsang with a clean and pure heart. We should all cultivate detachment from the desires that haunt us, at least for half an hour when we attend a satsang, and use that time in meditation at the lotus feet of the Lord.
