Meaning: According to the lines of Yajurved 29/37, Samved 1470 and Athervaved 20/69/11 — "We learn by being near the man who desires to see others happy like himself, as such our darkness of ignorance gets destroyed, we earn money and wretchedness gets destroyed. Therefore we should all be near spiritual people.
Message: These days' spiritual persons are seen nowhere. See anyone and you find him busy only in worshipping the body and forgetting the soul. He is constantly involved in decorating the body, in indulging his senses and fulfilling his desires. But what is this body? What is the difference between this live-body and the body after death? Apparently nothing, but what is the liveliness of the body due to? So long as there is the spark of the soul within it, the body has a meaning. Otherwise it is a corpse. Then what remains in it? Neither knowledge nor brightness: no feelings and no sensation. Man is considered impure by merely touching such a dead body.
So long as soul, a part of the Supreme Father is within this perishable body, it gives it the halo of form and beauty, and brings knowledge and life in this ignorant body. Only God himself manifests in the form of a spark along with all his living powers. Because of their presence and contact only, this body is pure. What wonderful grandeur this, of God? Wandering in the darkness of ignorance, man is not able to understand that Ultimate Truth. Rare are the spiritual people who understand it. Let them be few, but even then such men exist in the present times also. Only those men are successful who try to seek help of such spiritual persons. But those who do not make any efforts and merely sit with folded hands; they are not able to recognize such great men even though they may come before them.
The satsang of such great men does the work of the philosopher stone; it brightens the life like pure gold. It pulls out man from the darkness of ignorance and provides the knowledge of the meaningfulness and usefulness of light of life. With this knowledge, promising progress is made in achieving the objective of life. The bad tendencies and bad thinking do not increase, and actually, with mental strength and willpower, these get eradicated. Their place is filled with good qualities, thoughts of good activities, and they become joyous and cheerful. With the assimilation of excellence and idealism in greater and greater degrees in this qualities, deeds and nature, man becomes more enthused to make this world, this vast manifestation of God, more developed and more fragrant. Then he cheerfully plans the use of all his capacity and personality for public welfare and for the removal of the widespread ignorance, corruption and backwardness in the society.
The entire society becomes heavenly with the influence of satsang.
Ketoom krunvannaketave
pesho marya apayshasay
samurshaadibharajaayathaa.
(Yajurved 29/37, Rigved 1/6/3. Samved 1470 and Athervaved 20/69/11)
