In general, Company of Nobles
(Sat-samagama) means associatio with the noble persons, religious
scriptures and like. The purpose of such association is to improve ourselves, to make good of our
present life and to attain to eternal happiness through self-realization.
Association with persons of like temperament and aims with pious intention, hearing of the sermons of
saints who inspire righteousness and liberation, and like are also
Sat-samagama.
Satsamagama at its best is, living
constantly at the feet of the enlightened saints and striving for spiritual advancement. In the
first stage, the Sadhaka will spare an hour or two, or two days in a week,
for the spiritual practice (Sadhana) of Satsamagama. For those who
have greater ardor for spiritual advancement, daily association with
saintly persons is necessary.
A common person can benefit greatly
in the daily routine of his life, if he follows the following method
of Satsamagama. At well planned periodical intervals, one should
resort to intensive Satsamagama. For this purpose, one should stay in
some secluded place (Ashram) and remain in obedience to an enlightened noble preceptor.
