Sai has emphasized the glory of Satsang by saying that it leads to the door of salvation!
Sai said that nowadays they have converted it into an event for personal gains. There is too much show-off and everyone is trying to imitate others whether it is Satsang or any festival or other such occasion. They put up 40 loud speakers and 2000 bulbs outside the venue, but inside there would be hardly 2 persons! When Sai asked them why all this, they replied that this is how more people can be attracted to come in!
Once someone requested Sai for a visit to their temple in Ulhasnagar. When Sai reached early in the morning, He saw a white bedsheet laid in front of Guru Sahib, with currency notes of Rs 100, 500 and 1000. On inquiring from the in-charge there as to where has all this money come from, since no devotees have come in so far, he told Sai that this is what will prompt devotion in the minds of devotees to contribute!
Sai explains that the glory of Satsang is remarkable. We should not treat it ordinarily with ulterior motives. We will derive some gain from it only if we learn to respect it in it’s true earnest!
