'પરમાર ક્યાં ગયા ?' યોગીજી મહારાજે પૂછ્યું.
દેશથી શ્રી શિલવાલભાઈ પરમાર સ્વામીશ્રી સાથે આવ્યા હતા.
'બાપા, માંદા છે', કોઈકે સમાચાર આપ્યા.
'મોટા પુરુષના ગુણ ગાવા એ જ દવા, તેથી મોક્ષ સુધરે', સ્વામીશ્રીએ સંતની દુવારૂપ દવા બતાવી.

Characteristics of Complete Satsang
Thereafter, Muktãnand Swãmi asked, "Who can be said to have developed complete satsang?"
Shriji Mahãrãj replied, "First of all, such a person has extremely firmly realised his self to be the ãtmã. Also, he believes his ãtmã to be absolutely detached from the body, the indriyas and the antahkaran; he does not believe the actions of the body, indriyas, etc., to be his own. Despite this, he does not permit even a slight lapse in the observance of the five religious vows. Moreover, even though he himself behaves as brahmarup, he does not abandon his feeling of servitude towards Purushottam Bhagwãn; he staunchly worships God while maintaining a master-servant relationship with Him... With such realisation of God's greatness, he devoutly engages in listening to the talks of God and in the other forms of bhakti. He also serves God's devotees menially. When a person behaves in this manner, his satsang can be said to be complete."
