Satsang

All the dear ones are advised to read carefully Circular Letter No. 4. This Circular deals with the proper way to hold Satsang meetings. All Satsangs should be conducted strictly in accordance with this Circular.

Satsang is not a meeting place for a hotch-potch of different schools of thought. The Teachings of the Surat Shabd Yoga only should be the subject of discourse.

Books other than those of the Master should not be read from, sold or displayed at the Satsangs. Other books or saints which speak of the Surat Shabd Yoga may, however, be referred to in your talks.

All subjects such as astrology, palmistry, astral projection, psychic phenomena or other allied schools of thought, should not be brought into the Satsangs and discussed. You may refer to the book "Crown of Life" in which you will find how the teachings of Surat Shabd Yoga differ from all other Yoga and modern day movements.

I cannot stress strongly enough that it is most important that all Representatives and Group Leaders must be fully convinced of the supremacy of the teachings of the Surat Shabd Yoga, which is the simplest and easiest way back to God. They must have this understanding as well as faith in the God Power working through the chosen Human Pole of the Living Master, otherwise they cannot deliver the teachings to others with the firm conviction that the Surat Shabd Yoga is supreme above all other paths. If, however, some Representatives and Group Leaders are not fully convinced of this at heart, then I am afraid that they will not be able to do full justice to the onerous work entrusted to them. We have, of course, respect for all other teachings that point the way to God.

Satsang is of the Master and every initiate is also part of the Satsang and can contribute to the general atmosphere of the Satsang by setting an example in living up to the Teachings of the Master.

Christ said:

Let my Words abide in you, and you abide in Me.

The Words of the Master are the Master, and the Master cannot be separated from His Words.

With all love.

Yours affectionately,

Kirpal Singh
