Satsang Podcasts from the Himalayas, from TransformationMeditation.com
These talks are recorded in the Himalayas of Northern India by Shree from Transformation Meditation. You'll get to experience the incredible sound spaces of the famous Himalayan Sages and enjoy the spiritual power and highest inner dimensions associated with this region. “Satsang (the company of wise and enlightened persons) is a gatekeeper to liberation. Satsang enlarges one’s intelligence and destroys one’s ignorance and psychological distress. Whatever be the cost, however difficult it may be, whatever obstacles may stand in its way, Satsang should never be neglected. For Satsang alone is one’s light on the path of life. Satsang is indeed superior to all other forms of spiritual practices.” — Yoga Vasishtha - You can play the Satsang Podcasts once a week or every day to help inspire and deepen your meditation or to create ease for your morning and evening meditation practice. You can also listen to the podcast before you begin teaching your own meditation class for inspiration of what to speak about.

Attchment to Pleasure and Avoidance of Pain
In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali there are two terms that explain this dilemma completely. Raag is attachment and dwesh is aversion. If you have one then you have to have the other. They are like two sides of the same coin. When you become attached to someone then at some point you will be angry or dissatisfied with them. You need to have that person do that which pleases you and brings you joy and have them not leave or do that which you don't like that brings you pain. So if your enjoyment of life is based on that person and it could be a child, life partner, or even a work associate, that you overvalue, eventually you will either get angry and or you will disregard their usefulness and even leave them.
As this is human nature you can't avoid raag and desh. But through the awareness of how this process works, you can remain free by not believing in it. Through meditation, you become free from raag and desh as you are no longer only depending on someone else for your satisfaction in life.
