What is there to say except do satsang, service and meditation? As Bob was explaining to you before, when I say satsang, I do not mean chitchat. Let me explain that to you a little bit. I don't think a lot of premies understand that. What I really mean by that is three premies get together and they turn on a stereo, and they have extremely different opinions about that stereo. So they talk about it, they talk about it, they talk about it, they talk about it, they talk about it for hours. Finally, they end up at one point where they say, "Yeah, well, okay," and all of the three people agree that that stereo is good or that stereo is bad. Then they turn around, come to another premie, and he says, "Well, what were you doing that evening?" They say, "Oh, we were having satsang about the stereo." That's not satsang. Believe me that's not satsang.

I realized this very recently, that this is what premies were being mistaken about. They would go out and talk about these different ridiculous things, and they would come back to the ashram or anywhere and say, "Oh man, I just had the most fantastic satsang with that guy." Then somebody asks him, "Well, what was it all about?" He says, "I finally talked him out of the price." Well, that's not satsang, you know. You finally agreed, "Okay, I'll give you this unit for 250 dollars instead of 500 dollars," and you say, "I just had the most fantastic satsang with him." Not that you told him that it was for a spiritual cause that you were taking it. No. That was for your home. You just chit-chatted with him, and you think that's satsang. No! That is not satsang.

Satsang is the real, true communication between the person who has mastered it and the person who is listening to that person who has mastered it. Because satsang really means, "the company of Truth." If a person is not in the company of Truth, then how can he put you in the company of Truth? Therefore, if he cannot put you in the company of Truth, how can you ever call it satsang?
