If we enjoy good food and drink and we keep company of someone who always enjoys them, then our habit will only increase. We should sit with those who are more staunch in dharma, jnãn, vairagya, etc., even if they are the same age. But just because they may be older, if they have similar habits, then we shouldn’t sit with them. Also never sit with a pessimist, for not only is he disillusioned but he makes others disillusioned too! By associating with those who explain the greatness of God, encourage us to follow dharma and instill devotion in our hearts, we will progress in Satsang.
