Beautiful explanation by the famous Indian Scholar & thinker of yesteryears -Sri Vinoba Bhave, explaining the MEANING of "Association".
He said QUOTE...
" The rain drop from the sky,if it is caught in hands is pure enough for drinking.
If it falls in the gutter,its value drops so much that it cant 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
& finally,
if it falls on oyster,it becomes a pearl.
The drop is the same,but its existence & worth depends on with whom it associates"
UNQUOTE.
Drawing parallels to life, our lineage & birth cant be decided by us...But we can decide on our associates.
At times,we stumble upon angels/devils with no reason & for seasons...but d rain drops in us should realise the lessons of associates & form linkages accordingly as we trudge through life's journey....
Lesson for life!! Till again when life teaches yet another lesson......
