Good Company Is of Supreme Importance by Paramhansa Yoganand

Paramhansa Yogananda

To play your part well on earth is not easy. It is only by good associations that you can find your way out of the darkness of ignorance. The blind cannot lead the blind. Mixing with those who love only social gatherings will waste your time, but association with those who love God will give you the love of God. The Lord said in the Bhagvad-Gita: “Only one among thousands of men strives for salvation; and, among those exalted seekers, perhaps only one will perceive Me as I am.”* Very few people are interested in God. IT is said that the child is busy with play, the youth is busy with sex, and the adult is busy with worries. How few think of the eternal bliss of Spirit! But he who seeks God, and who seeks with all the depth and fervor of his soul until he finds Him, is wisest of all men. The Lord knows what you think; and if you love Him He will reveal Himself to you. [*Bhagvad Gita VII:3]
