Shunning bad friends, associate with the supreme individual. Stick to the advice he gave you, aspiring to unshakable happiness. If you’re lost in the middle of a great sea, and you clamber up on a little log, you’ll sink. So too, a person who lives well sinks by relying on a lazy person. Hence you should avoid such a lazy person who lacks energy. Dwell with the noble ones who are secluded and determined and always energetic; the astute who practice absorption.
