Vachanamrut Essence
Gadhadā I-17
- One who talks discouragingly in this manner [described below] is called kusang (negative influence) in Satsang:
- “Who can follow God’s commands thoroughly? Who can possibly observe the religious vows perfectly?”
- “God is the redeemer of even the wicked, and so He will grant liberation to us as well.”
- “Attempting to behold God’s form in the heart is not possible by one’s own efforts. It is only beheld by those whom God helps out of compassion.”
- This type of kusang discourages others from practicing the spiritual endeavours for pleasing God.
- To remove kusang from Satsang, Shriji Mahārāj has commanded:
- No one should utter such discouraging words; instead always speak courageously.
- On days when one speaks such discouraging words, one should observe a fast.
