How do I choose good friends?
Choose a friend with care
Be very careful in making friends, and choose a sajjan (a good person), never a durjan (a wicked one). A friend's qualities come into you quickly.
Make a friend when the mind matches, a chela when the heart matches, a guru when the qualities match, or else stay alone. Make friends very carefully, because a friend's qualities come to you quickly.
