Thought for the day - As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM Today 29/8/2003

 

Sadhana (spiritual discipline) is influenced by the company one

keeps. Good men keep you good; bad men drag you away in to evil. Of

course, it is difficult to find out who is good and who is bad and

then settle among the good. So, it is advisable to avoid excessive

mingling with people, and concentrate on sadhana . The human mind is

like iron; if it falls on mud, it rusts and disintegrates. If it

falls in to fire, it loses its dross and becomes pure. Therefore, if

man joins the good company of Jnanis (men of spiritual wisdom), it

will do him more good than being in solitude. But avoid evil company

at all costs. A red hot iron ball is capable of doing more damage

than a flame of fire; a sinful man is more to be avoided than sin

itself.
