________________ Aptavani-6 is needed for dealing with our interactions in the worldly life. There is no dealing of worldly life interactions here in satsang. Here there is the interaction of pure interaction (shuddha vyavahar). There is absolutely no need for the intellect in shuddha vyavahar. Questioner: Should we use the intellect as a servant or not?
