Beautiful explanation by Swami Vivekananda:
.
Explaining the meaning of ‘Association’. He
said:
.
“The rain drop from the sky: if it is caught in
hands, it is pure enough for drinking. If it
falls in a gutter, its value drops so much that
it can’t be used even for washing the feet. If
it falls on hot surface, it perishes. If it falls on
lotus leaf, it shines like a pearl and finally, if
it falls on oyster, it becomes a pearl. The drop
is same, but its existence & worth depend on
with whom it associates.”
.
Always be associated with people who are
good at heart.
