How wisdom manifests itself in satsang. In the mAnava dharma shAstra it is said that disciples or brahmacAris should stand in the presence of Guru.
Reason:
until disciple realizes Guru as God, the prANa will leave the body without
Realization having been established. Mind still active will take a
lower birth. On the other hand the sannidhi of God or BhagavAn or Guru
results in prANa leaving through brahmarandhra and there is no rebirth.
Recall the story of Shiva and Daksha. This is also the reason why Daksha suffers after insulting Shiva by not standing up in his presence. But in Kali Yuga sometimes the guru stands while
disciples sit, shUdras propound the vedas and guru seva is unheard
of in some places! Approaching the sannidhi of guru with respect, paying due respect,
and giving precedence in seating to those who have been in Guru sannidhi
longer, leaving the place better than you found it, are all examples of wisdom in
action.
