47. "Association is Stronger than Will Power!" #KURAL 454

#KROM 47. "Association is Stronger than Will Power!"

One's intellectual attitude (or outlook) appears to be born of his mind, but, in reality, it is a result of the company he keeps!

மனத்து உளது போலக் காட்டி ஒருவற்கு
இனத்து உளது ஆகும் அறிவு. 454

manatthu uLadhu pOlak kaaTTi oruvaRku
inatthu uLadhu aagum aRivu.

As we saw earlier, the thoughts are universally not individually rooted, and so the formation of ideas follows the principle of receptivity. A set of multiple antennas collectively have a stronger receptivity of signals than an individual antenna. Similarly, depending on the company a person keeps his mental makeup is strongly influenced for better or worse. "Satsanga" (Association of the holy whose focus is on the Truth, i.e.,God) is of paramount importance for a spiritual aspirant. Sri Sankara Bhagavadpada says "Satsanga" leads to liberation in his famous Bhaja Govindam*.

satsangatve nissangatvam
nissangatve nirmohatvam
nirmohatve nishchalatattvam
nishchalatattve jeevanmukti

From Satsangha, comes non-attachment; from non-attachment comes freedom from delusion, which leads to self-settlement (free from restlessness). From self-settlement comes Jivan Mukti (liberation).
