THE
POTENT WORDS OF SUCH REALIZED SOULS
PENETRATE
THE HEART
|
TRANSLATION
"One should therefore avoid bad company and associate only with
devotees. With their realized instructions, such saints can
cut the knot connecting one with activities unfavorable to devotional
service."
PURPORT
This verse, which appears in Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.26.26), was
spoken by Lord Krsna to Uddhava in the text known as the
Uddhava-gita. The discussion relates to the story of Pururava and
the heavenly courtesan Urvasi. When Urvasi left Pururava, he was
deeply affected by the separation and had to learn to overcome his
grief.
It is
indicated that to learn the transcendental science, it is imperative
that one avoid the company of undesirable persons and always seek the
company of saints and sages who are able to impart lessons of
transcendental knowledge. The potent words of such realized
souls penetrate the heart, thereby eradicating all misgivings
accumulated through years of undesirable association. For a
neophyte devotee there are two kinds of persons whose association is
undesirable: (1) gross materialists who constantly engage in sense
gratification and (2) unbelievers who do not serve the Supreme
Personality of Godhead but serve their senses and their mental whims
in terms of their speculative habits. Intelligent persons seeking
transcendental realization should very scrupulously avoid their
company.
( C.C. Adi
Lila 1.59)
