Men should concentrate on their natural spiritual tendencies rather than succumbing to the allurements of worldly objects. For this purpose, association with good people is essential. Eschew totally the company of bad people. Good company does not mean participating in bhajans and religious gatherings. Sathsang truly means cultivating the company of one's Sath (conscience). It means being immersed in the contemplation of God. Carry on your daily duties with your thoughts centered on God. Deem every action as an offering to God. That is the way to perfect one's human nature and sanctify one's life.
