When a person begins a spiritual path it is no accident.

What is satsang? Or why are you here?
When a person begins a spiritual path it is no accident.
Again they did not choose a spiritual path it happened by itself. 


As you are aware there are millions of people
who have no spiritual path at all and the world goes on. 


But those of us who have a spiritual path have not asked for one
it just happened to you due to the fact you came this way through karma. 


You've been this way before and you're continuing the path.

When you first began you were like a little child, learning about God.
Does God really exist? Who is God?
You were very inquisitive. 


If you were really sincere in your heart
the guru within pushed you forward. 


Forward to new vistas, new understanding
and you come in contact with a Sage at satsang.


Satsang means sitting at the feet of the Master.
Literally sat means wisdom, consciousness.
The Master, consciousness, presence is all the same. 


It's not my consciousness or my wisdom.
It's not your wisdom, your consciousness,
it's just consciousness and wisdom.


I don't own it neither do you.
So you come to sit in wisdom.
You do not come to get wisdom.
You do not come to give wisdom. 


You come to sit in wisdom, the wisdom which already exists.
Which has always existed and which will always exist.


The wisdom which asks you, "Who am I?
Where did I come from?
Where am I going?
What is my purpose in life?" 


Those question arise of their own accord.
There is no answer to any of the questions.
Never seek an answer. 


If you ever come up with an answer it's the wrong answer.
Where there is no place to go, nothing to attain,
no God to worship, there is no path whatsoever,
there is not even satsang. 


There is no Master, there is no wisdom.
Then what exists? Silence.
Pure awareness, silence, the silence of the heart.
Infinite silence!
