After chestha, Atmaswarup Swami said, “Swamishri spoke forcefully about not taking abhav-avgun.”

Then, the other swamis repeated some of the phrases Swamishri had used in his evening discourse. “If you engage in abhav-avgun satsang will be decimated.” “You will not experience inner peace. That is my guarantee.” “Abhav-avgun is a big bump. If you overcome it, you are directly in Akshardham.”

Atmaswarup Swami said, “Still people engage in taking abhav-avgun.”

Swamishri said, “Yogi Bapa used to say, ‘Do not indulge in gossip.’ Do not publicize faults of others. Even if it is true, it is still gossip. And what is the need to take abhav-avgun?

“See, we’re seated here. But if someone has abhav for another, then our enjoyment diminishes. Such gossip is voiced, and others hear it, even if they do not want to.”

Atmaswarup Swami, “We strain our ears to listen to such talks!”

Swamishri said, “Yes, the frequency instantly matches. And all the gossipers gather. There are so many other good things to talk about. Why gossip? It is worthless, Maharaj’s words are worth billions of dollars and talks of abhav-avgun put one in debt. If we are weak, people will come frequently and gossip to us about others. This has become a habit.”

Brahmamuni Swami said, “Often, we do not even realize that we have slipped onto this path.”

Swamishri said, “It has been our habit for countless births to take abhav-avgun. But because we have taken refuge in Maharaj, through this satsang, this habit of taking abhav-avgun will be overcome. So, never leave satsang.”
