As water changes according to the soil through which it flows,
\nso a man assimilates the character of his associates.

By knowing his thoughts, a man’s mind is discovered.
\nBy knowing his associates, his character is revealed.
\nKural 454<\/p>\n
Wisdom, appearing to originate in a man’s mind,
\nhas its source in his companions.
\nKural 455<\/p>\n
Purity of mind and purity of conduct–these two
\ndepend upon the purity of a man’s companions.
\nKural 456<\/p>\n
Praiseworthy progeny come to pure-minded men
\nwhose pure companions keep impure deeds away.
\nKural 457<\/p>\n
Wealth will be bestowed on good-minded men,
\nand all renown will be granted by good company.
\nKural 458<\/p>\n
Even perfect men, possessing the mind’s full goodness,
\nare fortified by pious fellowship.

Goodness of mind leads to bliss in the next world,
\nand even that is secured by the company of good men.

There exists no greater aid than virtuous fellowship,
\nand no greater affliction than evil fraternity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
