In the human birth, one is influenced by good or bad company. Thus the teachings of Guru instills virtues whereas bad company fills a person with base wisdom.
In the company of true people, one attains a position of a devotee, an analytical person, liberated alive and possessor of divine knowledge.
Association with evil and vice-ridden people turns a man into thief, gambler, deceitful, dacoit, addict and arrogant.
The whole world enjoys peace and pleasures in their own way. But a rare person has understood the intensity of the blessing of Guru's teaching and happiness it gives. (165)
