I had all kinds of highfalutin ideas about what satsang might be when I was in prison. I thought that it was some kind of an event in which somebody who had attained what I wanted sat with us and, maybe, if I were lucky, some overflow of grace might jump out on me. It never occurred to me that satsang was a conversation, a give and take between the one sitting up there on the chair and the rest of us sitting on the floor. It never occurred to me that the expression of satsang was, like every other conversation, something that changed and evolved over time. I thought that it was like the word of God, hewed in stone, and whatever it was that the teacher said, that was it. There wasn't any room for that to change or evolve or even devolve at all.
