In this Satsang, Swamiji emphasizes that it is not enough to meditate and experience the Self within. The seeker must perceive the Self in everything, everywhere. One who has attained self-mastery, will remain steady in the Supreme Self, amidst all life situations.

Who is a spiritually integrated person? A Self-realized knower who remains unshakeable, whose senses are in control, and who looks at a stone, a lump of clay and gold with equal vision, is known to be spiritually integrated. The knower lives and interacts in the world, remaining firmly entrenched in the knowledge.

Spiritual sadhana is practiced to infuse more and more purity in the personality. By this gradual sadhana of self-purification, one finally attains the Vishuddha Sattva state. The mind of a Vishuddha sattva is placid, contented, and peaceful. He experiences constant bliss arising from the Self.

A knower is neither tormented nor ecstatic when faced with situations; He is neither unduly attached nor unattached. His mind becomes so pure, noble, transcendental, that attachment or detachment have no relevance for it. A knower may pursue Yoga or may be given to enjoying sensory objects, he may have Sanga or may be free of Sanga, but he remains firmly established in the self and remains unaffected and blissful.

Shankaracharya says that when the knower is able to delight and revel in his own within, why would he get attracted to and delight in the world, which is inert? All his inner processes are sublimated, as in a sleeping person, and the mind is calm, peaceful, flexible, and harmonious. With an unshakeable and unaffected mind, he glides through all life situations.
