| 416 我们所结交的人，在我们的灵道上有何重要？ |
| |
July 19, 2012: What is the importance of the company we keep, in relation to our journey to the Divine? The Divine Master explains to us through absolutely wonderful examples today.
Seeking good company and spending all available time in that comradeship called sathsang (holy company), will help the aspirant a great deal. You are shaped by the company you keep; Iron turns into rust if it seeks the company of soil. It glows, softens and takes on useful shapes, if it enjoys the company of fire. Dust can fly if it chooses the wind as its friend; however if it prefers water, it has to end as slime in a pit. It has neither wing nor foot, yet it can either fly or walk, rise or fall, according to the friend it selects. Knowing this truth, the great saint, Kabir once said: "Here are my prostrations to the good, here are my prostrations to the bad." When asked why he offered salutations to the bad, he replied, "My prostrations to the bad, so that they may leave me alone. I do the same before good, so that they might remain near me always."

| 结交益友，有空就与他们在一块，此谓sathsang（善知识），这对求道者有莫大帮助。你所结交的人，会塑造你。铁若与泥土为伍，就会生锈；若它乐于与火为伍，则会发光、软化、而形成有用的形状。灰尘若选择与风为伴，就能飞，然而若它选择了水，就只能沦为坑中的泥巴。它没有翅膀也没有脚，却能根据它选择的朋友，或飞或走，或起或落。圣人卡毕尔（Kabir）明白这个道理，有一回他说：“在此向善人顶礼，在此向恶人顶礼。”人家问他为何向坏人致敬，他回答说：“我向恶人顶礼，让他们不来打扰我。我向善人顶礼，让他们始终接近我。”

Pay any price to avoid the company of the bad. Pay any price to acquire the company of the good.
