Why shy away from a Sangi?

In the world ,

Free world

It's one's choice

To get enlightened

Or

To fool oneself.

Many on the other side

Rejoice themselves

Under hallucination

That they have belittled

சங்கிs -

Wilfully planting hatred

In people off Hinduism

Towards Hindus.

What they don't want is

Our brothers and sisters from

Other Religions should 

Never get an idea -

That Hinduism is 

All embracing one.

Where else do you

Hear:

वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् (vasudhaiva kuTumbakam)

-  Mantra VI - 72 in Maha Upanishad which belongs to sAmaveda. - the whole world is one family, if we literally see it may mean.  In fact it carries the profound philosophy of non-duality, Advaita.

महावीर विक्रम बजरंगी, कुमति निवार सुमति के संगी

O Mahavir Bajrang Bali! You are the Eternal Mighty. You remove the evil intellect and are the companions of the wise.

Sangi as in Hanuman Chalisa by Thulsidas

Refers to a good friend, of good conducts.

Why shy away from a Sangi?

In fact one only enriches one's values from a Sangi,  Adi Shankaracharya beautifully elucidates it in His Bhaja Govindram:

Satsangatve nissangatvam

Nissangatve nirmohatvam

Nirmohatve nischalatattvam

Nischalatattve jeevanmuktih” --Bhajagovindam (9)

 

“Through the company of the good, there arises non-attachment; through non-attachment there arises freedom from delusion; through freedom from delusion there arises steadfastness; through steadfastness, there arises liberation in life”- Bhajagovindam .

It's apt to wrap it up with a Verse from Bible:

"Wisdom flows from the mouth of the Righteous”—(Proverbs 10-31)
