95. சத்சங்கம்
சத்சங்கம் என்ற சொல்லுக்குத் தனி இருப்பாம் சத்தோடு சேர்தல் என்பதே பொருள். அதை மிகச் சிலரே புரிந்து கொள்ள முடியும். எனவே வெளிப்படும் சத்தாம் குருவின் சேர்க்கையைக் குறித்தனர்.

Sant Tukaram Said so.
Punya parupkaar paap te par pidaa............
Merit consists in doing good to others, sin in doing harm to others. There is no other pair comparable to this. Truth is the only religion (or freedom); untruth is bondage, there is no secret like this. God's name on one's lips is itself salvation, disregard (of the name) know to be perdition. Companionship of the good is the only heaven, studious indifference is hell. Tuka says: It is thus clear what is good and what is injurious, let people choose what they will.
(This beautiful Abang by Sant Tukaram translated by Mahatma Gandhi in Yerwada Jail -28.10.1930)

Thank you sir for the enriching this thread with this post!

Our ancient Puranas Shrimad Bhagavatam clearly mentions about the Sat-Sang.
We can clearly state that there is no other means for us to attain the highest welfare
other than through Sat-Sang. An intelligent person must therefore come forward
to reject all bad association and instead take up the association of Sat-Sang;
in other words, one has to take the association of Sat-Sang i.e. Bhagavad Priti
giving up all types of Asat-sangh. Our Sastras (Scriptures) are explicit in this
aspect and nothing hidden or implied about non-association. Bhaktas (Devotees)
who are well-versed always engage themselves in the search for the truth and
the path of eternal well being and they would also endeavour to hear the glories of
Sastras for a Sat-Sang. It is imperative for a person to live in a society of Sat-Sang
for not only their well-being but also for the Community to prosper.

Trust is an absolute need for whatever we do
Motivation is the stimulation that drives creativity and performance in us
Individualism should be part and parcel of us as far as possible
Should have uncompromising qualities viz. Respect to elders and others,
Openness in discussion and interaction, humanity behaviour with everyone,
and to be passionate

Dear Mrs. Visalakshi Ramani,
Indeed the simple Abhangs of Sant Tukaram and Dohas of Kabir take us nearer to God with their enriching messages .
Incidentally that was my 1000th post in Tamil Brahmin forum.

Dear Sir,
:welcome: to the Veteran's wing!
Your 1000 posts convey much more info than 1000,000 posts by a person like me :clap2:
I always believe that
All great men are humble and
All great things are simple.
A simple message which can be understood even by an illiterate takes us nearer to God, than the pompous, flowery, well rhymed poetry / prose!

96. எண்ணங்கள்.
எண்ணங்கள் வலிமை வாய்ந்தவை. எனவே சாதுக்கள் சங்கம் தேவை. ஒரு ஞானி மனத்தை வென்று அமைதியாக இருக்கிறார். அவர் அருகில் இருக்கும்போது அது மற்றவர்களுக்கும் கிடைகிறது. இல்லையேல் அவர் சேர்க்கைக்கு அர்த்தமே இல்லை. குருவோடு தொடர்பு கொள்ளுவதும் அவசியம் ஆகிறது.

When we intend setting a goal, one important aspect is, it must be based on
specific, measurable, achievable, relevant to the task, ensuring timely completion,
value to the people associated with the programme, mutuality, and creativity besides
professionalism.

Always remember Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

I have also read and felt that if all the breath taking wonderful moments in a person's life are placed end to end they may last for a few minutes in the case of the lucky people and for a few seconds in the case of not-so-lucky people! Such is the nature of the human life!

97. மனத் தொடர்பு.
குருவின் ஸ்தூல அண்மை மட்டும் என்ன நன்மை தரும்?
மனம் தான் காரணம்.
மனத் தொடர்பு கட்டாயம் தேவை.

The man declares, I am weary, O God;
I am weary, O God, and worn out.
2 Surely I am too stupid to be a man.
I have not the understanding of a man.
3 I have not learned wisdom,
nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.
4 Who has ascended to heaven and come down?
Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and what is his son's name?
Surely you know!

5 Every word of God proves true;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6 Do not add to his words,
lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.
7 Two things I ask of you;
deny them not to me before I die:
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with the food that is needful for me,
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
