Prabhu Ratnakar Ji
Adi Valmiki Dharam Samaj (Regd.) Ratnakar Jyoti, Ludhaina

Sat is Aham Pratyaya Saram, the Self of selves. The sadhu is that Self of selves. He is immanent in all. Can anyone remain without the Self? No. So no one is away from sat-sanga.

Question: All that I want to know is whether sat-sanga is necessary and whether my coming here will help me or not.?

First you must decide what is sat-sanga. It means association with Sat or Reality. One who
knows or has realised Sat is also regarded as Sat. Such association with Sat or with one who knows Sat is absolutely necessary for all. Sankara has said that in all the three worlds there is no boat like sat-sanga to carry one safely across the ocean of births and deaths. Sat-sanga means sanga (association) with Sat. Sat is only the Self. Since the Self is not now understood to be Sat, the company of the sage who has thus understood it is sought.
