What is Satsang?

Satsang is a Sanskrit word that means "gathering together for the truth" or, more simply, "being with the truth." 
Truth is what is real, what exists. So all there is, is Truth. 
Whenever something increases your experience of the Truth, it opens your Heart and quiets your mind. 
Conversely, whenever something, such as a thought, fear, or judgment, limits or narrows your experience of the Truth, the Heart contracts and the mind gets busier. 
We are all equally endowed with this capacity to discriminate the Truth. Thus, the true teacher, or satguru, is within you, and satsang, or being with the Truth, is endless. 
The first step to complete peace and liberation is listen to the Satsang carefully and ask inquiring questions of yourself with a guileless heart.
These discourses on the nature and Knowledge of God in the company of Saints vanishes sorrow and brings us joy.
