True mental tranquillity can be achieved by seeking the company of Sadhus and
by doing Satsanga.
There is no greater wealth than the association with saints. A mere glimpse
of a saint can confer immeasurable benefit on the disciple and remove his difficulties.
Seeking the company of pious persons is a symptom of virue. Not to injure others
is virtue.
For kindling devotion towards God, many ways are shown in our Shastras. Among
them, stasang means the company of good people -- people who are good in all
respects. They are called by various names,such as mahatmas, Sadhus, Saints,
Godmen. They are persons who have transcended the dvandas like raga and dvesha
(love and hatred), labh and alabh (gain and loss), sukh and dukh (pleasure and
pain). No event that takes place around them can disturb their poise. They reveal
virtues such as Saty (truth), Sauch, (purity), Jnana (wisdom), Sama (silence)
and Dama (control of senses). They will always be immersed in the contemplation
of God. Bhagawan Krishna has declared in Srimad Bhagavatha --"My
devotees sanctify the whole universe". By their thoughts, word and deed they
influence and ultimately change the course of lives of those who associate with
them. Such men are always rare to find. It should be our watchful endeavour
always to shun bad company and keep good company.
Be with the pious and keep company whith the good. Befriend them or hold discussion
with them. But do not have anything to do with the wicked.
