If you can understand the strength and the power of good company and use it in the best manner possible, there is every chance of you doing great things. Good people can be recognised by their gentle thought, word and deed. Here is a small example: if a piece of black charcoal is kept in the proximity of a bright red fire, the area along which this black charcoal is in contact with the bright fire, will also begin to glow. The black charcoal is your ignorance. The bright red fire is the good company. By the two coming together, only the portion of your ignorance that is exposed to the effects of good company will be dispelled. But, if you employ sadhana as a fan to increase the area of contact, then the entire region of ignorance will become bright. It is, thus, not enough if you are merely in good company. You should also develop the sadhana of love, and become dear to good people.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
