Beautiful explanation by Swami Vivekananda...

Explaining the Meaning of 'Association'. He said:
"The rain drop from the sky, if it is caught in hands is pure enough for drinking. If it falls in gutter, it's value drops so much that it can't be used for washing the feet. If it falls on hot surface, it perishes. If it falls on lotus leaf, it shines like a pearl and finally, if it falls on oyster, it becomes a pearl. The drop is same, but it's existence & worth depends on with whom it associates."

  1. Yes i agree , who we are, and whom we become and what we stand for depends also on whom we associate with, but only to some extent, this being not true in every case. Our karma, our inherent nature, our strength of character or lack there of, our strong sense of right and wrong, play a huge part as well!
