The importance of the traditions
Satsaṅg is the true path, more vital than pilgrimage to holy rivers. Today is Guru Pūrṇimā, also honoring Buddha's enlightenment. Various faiths maintain holy days and disciplines, though adherence often falters. True devotion requires unwavering resolve, not merely calling upon deities in distress. Intellect is the divine gift distinguishing humanity; without it, one remains like an animal. Regular satsaṅg uplifts, while bad association degrades. Spiritual resolve is the essential guide.
"Sā janavāle lāge sadāhī satsaṅg."
"Kuṣaṅga will destroy you and will make you again into the animal’s life."
