Premanand Maharaj Ji
How does a friend's company change my conduct?
You become like what you contemplate
When you think of a friend, you take on his conduct, so make Bhagwan or His devotees your friends. Like the bhringi insect, constant thought changes you into what you contemplate.
Whatever we contemplate, its effect comes upon us. Just as if we think of lemon and sourness, every kind of thing we contemplate has its effect.
