SangSang means Association.Two types of sang: Satsang Kusang

Where do we get associated: Workplace, sports, mandir, samaj, home, etc.

Shriji Maharaj advised his followers not to associate with the following six person: Chor – Thief Paapi – Sinner Vyasani – Addict Kaami – Passionate Paakhandi – Hypocrite Kimiya – Alchemist (Black Magic)

Chor - Thief

Definition: Chori nu kam karto hoy athva musak (mouse) jevi vruti hoy.Examples: Gharma Chori, parku dhan, sarkari chori (tax), etc.Dastant: Murji Lohano, Ghadhpur ni bai, Akshar Jivan Swami ni agna, etc.Disadvantges: We would become one We could be in problems as we would be recognized as

one even if you are not

Therefore we should not associate with thieves as it may either lead us to become one or put us into trouble.

Paapi - Sinner

Paapi indulges in insulting, abusing, violence, adultery, etc.Five Mahapaaps: Brahmhatya Madhpan Brahman na suvran ni chori Guru stri no sang A char no sang

Paap and paapi will put you into trouble in this life as also the next.Punya na karo to wandho nahi pan paap to kyare pan na karvu.
