          from the satsang is directly proportional to our spiritual
          level,  our  love  for  god  and  our  control  over  our  ego.
          Satsang is so powerful that it can burn the 5 vices in
          us. By being in the company of the spiritual, our mind
          will neither go astray nor engage in futile thoughts.
