Friends
as Pure Companions
It
is said that human beings are known by the company they keep. We spend some of
the best years of our life with our friends in school, college and university.
As we progress in life, we make new friends in our work environment. But truly
the friends who last the test of time are those which we make in school and
college. These friendships are based on a selfless relationship without the
desire to take advantage of each other in any way. True friends understand your silence too and just sit with you in silence offering comfort just by their
presence. They understand each and every emotion of yours and are there for you
in the most trying circumstances in life, and their presence is just the balm
required for healing wounds created by life’s journey.
Friendship
is a relationship of mutual affection between people. Even when we embark on
our spiritual journey, we come across people who are so in sync with our
thought process that they become our soul mates. With time we come to know that
there are group souls too who vibrate at the same frequency and their
friendship is absolutely vital for the overall progress of the people in that
group. Here, the power of collectivity plays a big role. Swamiji keeps telling us
to meditate in collectivity, that there is great power in collective energy as
it helps balance all the people in that collective meditation session.
One
requires to have tremendous luck to meet good people and for them to develop
into a relationship which lasts a life-time. These people are true friends –
they always are there for you wherever they may be in the world. I have been
fortunate to have such kinds of friends both in my material life as well as in
the spiritual journey. Once you walk on the spiritual path those people who vibrate
at your frequency start entering your life and these people turn out to your
friends, philosophers and guides.
With
meditation comes inner peace and this desire for friends also starts
diminishing. We learn to live with those we have developed friendship over the years.
Ultimately friendship is a kind of ship of life which helps us stay balanced,
happy and full of joie de vivre….let us celebrate our friendship and remain in
touch till the end! But always remember that your best friend is always your SOUL!
