Alexander Smit: “In Jnana we say: the best
one can do is to attend this kind of
meetings (satsang), taking the best of it
and become Selfrealized as soon as
possible. This (satsang) is creating a
situation in which Selfrealization is
possible.”
Alexander Smit: “In India this sort of
meeting is called satsang, which means
‘the encounter with the holy ones’. But the
correct translation is: ‘the encounter with
clarity, the pure’, the encounter with the
frictionless. In the Advaita Vedanta
tradition no room is given for worship, for
the worship of persons, for guru-worship
and such... Sat means the purest of the
purest. Actually it is shudhsatsang:
encounter with the pure, with
Consciousness itself, with yourself.
Satsang is not being in a beautiful spiritual
conversation, no, satsang is the encounter
with the pure and then realizing that you
are that. And then you let it go... Thus the
ultimate satsang is the ultimate encounter
with the essence, silence... You could
almost say that the Jnana teachers, i.e.
Advaita Vedanta, invite you to evaporate in
it, to fall into it, to drown in it, to vanish in
it...”
