What do I lose from NOT going into Sangat?

"What do I actually lose from not going to Sangat (holy congregation)?"

This entire question is twisted.

"What do I gain from Sangat?" - That's what we say.

What will I gain from going? That's why we go to places.

We go to listen to a lecture, we go to sangat,

we go to school we go to a job, to gain something.

We say, "If we don't gain anything, then what's the purpose of us going?"

"I am fine at home, I'd rather watch movies at home"

But ask those, and the question is completely different in their mind.

They say, "It's not what I gain from going."

But instead, "What do I lose from not going?

That the path to my beloved Guru is very very far.

It is cold. It is dark. It is muddy. There's lots and lots of mud.

But, what will I gain if I go?

If I go, all my clothes will get wet. That's what I gain from actually going.

But what do I lose from not going?

If I stay, my heart breaks.

See, by not coming and valuing this Sangat,

many times we don't even realise what we're not breaking.

At least those people realise that their heart breaks by not going in Sangat.

But for many people (including myself), we have such a bad fortune,

we don't even realise what we're missing out on.
