After being bombarded with "satsang" from a persistent premie I got a falling-in-love style buzz for a few days which sufficed to convert me to a believer.

After that I only "happy" when distracted from my misery by "satsang".

Satsang was sufficient to scare me into staying.I would never have dared question the "organisation".When I was 19, people like Mike Finch,Nick Seymour Jones,Glen Whittaker and even Bulent seemed much older and wiser, and almost unapproachable by a novice like me.
