The Gurus often taught about ‘sangat’ — good company. They said the people we spend time with shape us, slowly and surely, like a scent that rubs off.
Sit beside fragrant sandalwood, they said, and you carry its sweet smell with you. But handle black coal, and your hands are sure to be smudged.
So choose your company with care: spend time with kind, honest, loving people, and their goodness will rub off on you too.
