Who is a true satsangi? Not the one who attends the satsang, but one who absorbs the pure vibrations of the satsang, listens to every word carefully, goes home and ponders over the teachings and puts them into practice. At times, hundreds of devotees come to satsang, but I cannot help thinking that only a handful among them have true spiritual intentions. But, it does not matter. Some of these devotees will surely reap the benefits of the pure and sacred environment, while the others will make a beginning in the right direction.
There was a devotee who had regularly attended satsang for 30 years. His son, a young man, often wondered why his father attended the satsang every day. What could he possibly gain out of it? So, one day, he decided to accompany his father and attend the satsang. He listened to the discourse, about the Creator, who is our Father, our Protector and our Guide. He heard the speaker say, “All Creation is one family. We all are His children and therefore, we should help one another.” The words touched him deeply, and he carried these words in his heart.
That is why I said, a true satsangi is the one who carries the message of the satsang with him, imbibes it and puts into practice.
