Satsang

Many saints have described the greatness of satsang. St. Kabir said, "Joy or misery depends on the company you keep…...a perfumer may not give anything to you, yet fragrance goes everywhere he does." When St. Kabir was summoned to heaven he was sitting in satsang. He said, "God called me and I wept, because all the joys of heaven can not compare to the joy of satsang." He also said that satsang has instantaneous effects. Persons with a crow-like nature become like cuckoos, whose voice is pleasing to the ear. Crane-like people turn into swans, which can separate milk and water. Only because of satsang did the bandit Ratnakar become a sage.
