In this talk, Swamiji highlights the benefits of Satsang. Worship of idols or pilgrimages are only an external unilateral devotion expressed by the worshiper. True devotion is possible only when there is a vibrant dialogue between the seeker disciple and a Knower of Truth who is an exponent of the Shastras. Sage Veda Vyasa and Valmiki Maharishi transformed and purified people by their association, through the “mental bath” of Satsang.

To elaborate on the glory and benefit of Satsang which is the panacea of all problems, Swamiji quotes the dialogue between Nava Yogis and King Nimi, which is a dialogue on the Supreme Truth. Similarly, Lord Krishna instructed his dear devotee Uddhava on how to get rid of his clinging and delusions.

Swamiji highlights that Satsanga with the Knowers of Truth, alone can remove all afflictions at all levels.
