Satsang (Sanskrit sat = true, sanga = company) is in Indian philosophy (1) the company of the "highest truth," (2) the company of a guru, or (3) company with an assembly of persons who listen to, talk about, and assimilate the truth.[1] This typically involves listening to or reading scriptures, reflecting on, discussing and assimilating their meaning, meditating on the source of these words, and bringing their meaning into one's daily life.

Rtambhara is a condition of consciousness. The mind becomes a witness to Absolute Truth and spiritual perception dawns. Although it is something that must happen within my mind it seems very far away.
