The purpose of a Satsang Intensive is to deeply explore a passage from the ECK works. It includes reading, reflection, sharing and discussion, and is intended to provide a spiritual setting for a connection to be made between the chela and the Inner Master. You can find additional information about the Satsang Intensive in the Members Area of the ECKANKAR website.
The quote for our Satsang on September 24 is:
For Solace, Peace, or Happiness
“All who become the channel for God will translate the ECK into the physical and spread peace for those concerned. Mind is the intermediate link between heaven and earth; therefore, it is good to use the mind as an instrument, allowing the spirituality of God to flow to all living creatures. Being an instrument of God, one asks not for solace, but only to give solace; one asks not for peace, but to give peace; and one asks not for happiness, but seeks only to give happiness.”
The Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad, Book One, p.22.
Sri Harold quotes this passage in Spiritual Exercises for The Shariyat Book One, p.18, and adds: “Close your eyes, gently sing HU, and let your heart fill with peace and quietude. Ask the Mahanta to show you an opportunity to give solace, peace, or happiness this day. It could be in even such small acts as cleaning up your environment or softening your voice in a time of stress.
This passage is an expression of the Living Word, given from the Master as a gift to you.
