What do I lose from NOT going into Sangat?

  • 0:00 - 0:04
    "What do I actually lose from
    not going to Sangat (holy congregation)?"
  • 0:04 - 0:06
    This entire question is twisted.
  • 0:06 - 0:09
    "What do I gain from Sangat?"
    That's what we say.
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    What will I gain from going?
    That's why we go to places.
  • 0:13 - 0:16
    We go to listen to a lecture,
    we go to sangat,
  • 0:16 - 0:19
    we go to school we go to a job,
    to gain something.
  • 0:20 - 0:24
    We say, "If we don't gain anything,
    then what's the purpose of us going?"
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    "I am fine at home, I'd
    rather watch movies at home"
  • 0:26 - 0:30
    But ask those, and the question is
    completely different in their mind.
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    They say, "It's not what
    I gain from going."
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    But instead, "What do I lose
    from not going?
  • 0:39 - 0:43
    That the path to my beloved
    Guru is very very far.
  • 0:43 - 0:48
    It is cold. It is dark. It is muddy.
    There's lots and lots of mud.
  • 0:48 - 0:51
    But, what will I gain if I go?
  • 0:53 - 0:58
    If I go, all my clothes will get wet.
    That's what I gain from actually going.
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    But what do I lose from not going?
  • 1:02 - 1:05
    If I stay, my heart breaks.
  • 1:05 - 1:09
    See, by not coming
    and valuing this Sangat,
  • 1:09 - 1:13
    many times we don't even realise
    what we're not breaking.
  • 1:15 - 1:19
    At least those people realise that their
    heart breaks by not going in Sangat.
  • 1:19 - 1:23
    But for many people (including myself),
    we have such a bad fortune,
  • 1:23 - 1:26
    we don't even realise
    what we're missing out on.
