the importance of good company

the wife that was bright in wisdom,
filled with detachment and longing for freedom
speaks to her husband about the importance of good company
by telling to him
a story of a women that was caregiving her
when she was young
this woman came under the spell of a man that was
stained in his soul
she was taken in by this man for a time
and was intimate with him
and had a child that was very unruly and
and went about wreaking havoc
after a long time of being with this family
and raising up her child
she came to her senses and saw that she had
made a terrible mistake
and had been taken in by the wrong kind
and she broke away from these associates
and found her joy in holding close my mother
that was very pure in her soul
and meant only good for all humanity
so my friend severed her ties with the impure
and found the pure to fall back on
and became a very different person that was
her natural blooming self
filled with heart, love and joy
she was restored again to herself
as she was before coming under the sway
of the impure souls that she was attracted to
i, my dear husband was so very happy to have
her back as before
as we were very close and we would play together
in the woods and laugh and sing and dance
like children that were free
but when she was taken away and lost in the worldly
realm where there were souls that did not see what was good
for her or know what was good for themselves
she became something i hardly recognized
so weighed down was she in spirit
but i still loved her and did not leave her in my soul
as if i was a women waiting for her to come out of a
long sickness that fell over her
i could not tell her to break free of this bond
for she needed to do it for herself and find the beauty
of mother pure
and find the souls that rejoiced in the good and wellness
of all
and this she did on her own
when she was so exhausted with being in company
that stole her energies and made her to be
not appreciated or loved inside
and did not honor her freedom
how lost she was my husband and i mourned for her
but did not lose the purity that was inside of me
for i loved her and waited and waited
and now she is with the good
and i am happy for her again
my dear husband you can see that good company
makes all the difference as the influence of the
energies and focus of the souls around bring
disharmony or bring harmony to the being
and peace and joy
may you know that good company is primary to being still
and pure and of God
not one soul on this earth flowered into beauty without the
association with the wise and the enlightened
this is the truth
and may this truth be taken in
with love and understanding


more flowing that is similar feeling to the tripura rahasya..
but not exactly ..
same heart
may it be enjoyed ...

  1. Namaste Guru Siddhananda,

    It is nice to see the wisdom that is in Tripura Rahasya flowing beautifully in your post. I can see now how its only after one is steady in detachment, can one really stop associating themselves with the impure. Definitely being in the company of the wise and enlightened is always helpful. Thank you for providing that opportunity with these heartpointings.

    OM

  2. Namaste, That which is not beneficial falls away as one goes deeper and deeper... With this path one continues in the world with the focus on the practices and stays in touch on the group sites which is in itself satsanga.. and just continues forward within the conditions that are in your life now, and these conditions will change and ripen. This is what has taken place here.. starting with raising a child, working in the world (and staying close to the light and Guru's grace) and now living in the community and with Guru.. None of it was planned -- all unfolds spontaneously and all falls away when the time is right .. Company of the wise though is imperative to realization -- may you take what is offered as grace from Guru and the community, imbibe it deeply and move ever forward.. maha shanti om

  3. Namaste, indeed detachment has to be in place to begin pulling away and witnessing without getting caught up in the internal drama... but this is done with an open heart ..within the flow of life and not with a hardened heart that is isolative. Life is here to be enjoyed and savored and relaxed into.. not to build more walls up against. When discernment becomes sharp.. one quite naturally does not gravitate towards experiences that are not beneficial. But we are not here to label this as impure and that as pure, but to continue in surrender and the flow of life and stay within honesty, transparency and integrity and all will come around right.... om shanti
