According to the teachings in Chapter 50, what is the importance of 'Satsang' (the company of saints) for a spiritual seeker?

Chapter 50 emphasizes that 'Satsang,' or the company of the righteous, is a great blessing and a critical component of the spiritual path. The text states that one does not even get the vision of a Saint without having a rich store of penance from previous lives. For anyone who desires the highest goal of liberation or their own true welfare, the chapter advises that they should become an instrument of the Saints, assuring they will then lack nothing. The greatness of Satsang is described as the source of "discrimination and detachment, and supreme peace for the true devotees." It is presented as the fertile ground where spiritual merit sprouts and sins are washed away simply by hearing the stories of the Saints.
