Guru Gita. 193

Guru Gita 193

When one leave bad friends and he leave bad actions

Then he is ready to receive guru, initiate him by God's grace.

Shiva said: The time dawns to the yogi when he free himself from bad company and bad action. Then he is initiated by God's grace to a Guru. 

My spiritual progress was good. When meditating it started special breathing patterns and body peculiar actions. It was pleasant but it can't be done in other's presence. I was enjoying my practice. By the time a servant came home. His company ruined my mind, he injected the poison of lust in me. I began to think of the material world. Slowly my practice and meditation came to a halt. 

Oh God we pray to thee to protect us from bad company.
