If There Is Counterfeit in the World… Then There Must Surely Be Something Genuine Too
A brief teaching of revered Maharaj Ji — to hear the complete discourse, watch the video above.
Complete Discourse
Disbelief towards saints and great souls has been created in society. Some films and some series have been made like that. Besides, some such unseemly things have happened, because of which disbelief towards saints has arisen. Young people see those very things. If there is faith in the words of the saints, then our society would be reformed. If faith in saints arises, then our society would be reformed. We will surely make one prayer: if counterfeit notes exist, then genuine notes must also exist. There is an authentic version of it. So if someone practices hypocrisy, then someone genuine must also exist.
Pray to God that you find the company of true saints, and then certainly your life will be transformed. Certainly transformation will happen. Without satsang there will be no transformation. Such people have come to us who said: "I was admitted to de-addiction centers many times to quit alcohol and drugs. But still I could not quit. And since I heard your satsang, as a 40-year alcoholic, I have quit it for good. That is why I have come to you." So the work that satsang does, no medicine can accomplish.
If the company of a sadhu is kept with sincerity and satsang is heard for a while, then the transformation of our life will certainly happen.
