A
learned man has said: “Water acquires the quality of land upon which it
flows”. The same way, the nature of man too, changes according to the
company of people having good or bad thoughts. Therefore, wise men avoid
contacts with bad people but foolish persons mingle with bad people and
spoil themselves. A man’s wisdom depends on his brain, but his prestige
and status usually depend upon his surrounding and choice of people.
The sanctity of the soul is derived from a man’s deeds which are
ultimately induced by the company he keeps. A person doing good in spite
of bad company is very rare and difficult. Religion can take you to
heaven, but wisdom for practicing religion is obtained from good company
and sermons of learned men only. Please remember that nothing is more
harmful than bad company and nothing is more beneficial than a good
generous companionship.
