In this Satsang, Ma speaks about the importance of Guru Sannidhi in the life of a seeker of Truth. The Guru gives the seeker guidance and direction on how to realize the Self, which is changeless, imperishable, and eternal.

A seeker must diligently do self-examination, and self-assessment. He should strive towards mind-purification—removing traits which agitate the mind and cultivating those traits which will make the mind strong, and calm. Virtues such as self-discipline, truthfulness, compassion, non-hurting, straightforwardness must adorn the seeker.

The Guru has realized the Self and is always willing to share the knowledge. He accepts the disciples as his own and helps them embark on the journey towards unaffectedness and fearlessness. By sharing the message of the scriptures, supported by his own experience, he guides the seekers attain the goal of self-realization.

Ma emphasizes that the Sadhana of meditation and interactions sadhana must be diligently practiced, where the seeker reminds himself, in all actions and interactions, that everything is the Self alone. Along with this two-fold sadhana, the seeker must concurrently practice self-purification. The Sadhana becomes facile in Guru Sannidhi, where there is ample opportunity to grasp noble qualities.
