THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Bear in mind the company you keep. The great saint-poet Kabir once said,
"I salute the bad and also the good". Kabir was asked, "We understand you
offering salutations to the good, but why do you salute the bad?" He responded,
"When I salute the bad, I am doing this with a prayer to remove themselves from
my presence; I am saluting the good, requesting their presence before me." This
is a profound statement. You must avoid bad company and cultivate the company
of good. When you join with good people, you will be happy and you will confer
happiness upon others. Strive to get rid of all your bad thoughts. Give up all
your negative traits. Discharge your obligations to your parents. Render
selfless service to the community. Redeem your lives by earning the Grace of
the Lord. This is My blessing to all of you.(Divine Discourse, 'My Dear
Students', Vol 2, Ch 3, Dec 29, 1985.)
