Essential Philosophy: Divinity In Love

About this ebook
It happens to almost everyone, somewhere in the journey of life, but it is very difficult to cover the miles assigned to us without any company. You are surrounded with your relatives, your friends, and your close acquaintances but you feel that something is missing.
This something is very important and it can only be experienced in true company. In Hindu Vedic culture, there is a very beautiful word “Satsang”. It is derived from Sanskrit language. Sat means true and Sanga means company. Indian philosophy deals extensively with the virtues and values of Satsang.
To me Satsang has a wider meaning because I feel that without the presence of the master, Satsang is incomplete. I have already defined the word Satsang in the first paragraph but it can’t be described because it is an experience. In English there has never been such a thing as Satsang so it can’t be translated into English. It is something which can be experienced.

Chapter One
Your knowledge, your experiences in life, and some other circumstantial causes may have compelled you to think that loneliness and peace are the essential things which you need the most at all cost. It happens to almost everyone, somewhere in the journey of life, but it is very difficult to cover the miles assigned to us without any company. You are surrounded with your relatives, your friends, and your close acquaintances but you feel that something is missing.
This something is very important and it can only be experienced in true company. In Hindu Vedic culture, there is a very beautiful word Satsang
. It is derived from Sanskrit language. Sat means true and Sanga means company. Indian philosophy deals extensively with the virtues and values of Satsang.
To me Satsang has a wider meaning because I feel that without the presence of the master, Satsang is incomplete. I have already defined the word Satsang in the first paragraph but it can’t be described because it is an experience. In English there has never been such a thing as Satsang so it can’t be translated into English. It is something which can be experienced.
Satsang is a highly precious thing in Eastern world, especially in India and Nepal. You are there in the presence of the master; you are not doing anything, you are just being there, like the many others like you who are there in the company. The presence of the master is magical, just like a catalyst. Neither you nor the master is doing anything, or is going to do anything but things begin to happen, you feel something inexpressible happening to you. There is the meeting of the different energies and the result can’t be expressed through words.
This very Satsang can be your meditation, you Sadhana. You are surrounded by the energies emanating from the master and the others like you who are present there. You don’t do anything but something highly significant is happening to you. You are almost drowned
