Friendship Day Insights: Choosing the Right Friends

Friendship Day

As a child, the monkey became a part of the mother’s hand, and after that, the whole life went together—a friendship. Friendship comforts me when everyone is far away. Friendship stands with us in our victories. Friendship is an inclusive bond that resonates as two bodies, one heartbeat. That’s why the whole world is addicted to it!

All the bonds we form in life are essential. The bond of friendship is beyond them. It is a deep bond that is formed naturally, without any selfishness. Reconcilable friends belong to those who can walk together with an arm on each other’s shoulder without reference to gaps and flaws. A reassurance that ‘What about me… I have a friend who is very comforting in times of trouble. Of course, it’s good for a man to have trouble sometimes. At that moment, it becomes clear who are the friends who will stand by and support, says Kabir. Pure friendship is far from narrowness and close to intimacy. It is the breath of life. One enemy is too many! But, even if there are a hundred friends, they are few!

From the living soul

Both rice and kaiya need Samaujjis. But the rule does not apply to ghee—i.e., friendship. Whoever has a pure heart can befriend anyone. Two birds, Jivatma and Paramatma, take refuge in the tree, Srishti. Vedasukta says that Mitra will continue Dharma. The sweet bond of friendship begins in creation from the soul of the soul. The Soumanasya Sukta of the Atharvana Veda aspires for the fragrance of friendship to pervade every person. ‘Hey God! All nature should cooperate with us as friends. No danger should befall us. We should have no fear, day or night. All directions should stop and give us a hand. We should be blessed at all times and in all places,’ says the Vedas.

Loss is inevitable

Making friends is a great art, but the youth should ask whether all the bonds that are exchanged in the name of friendship are real. It is better to have no such friends than to be friends with bad people. Friends influence us directly or indirectly. That’s why it is said that your personality is known by your friends. Friends should guide each other and grow higher. A good friend always wishes us well. If he is going to do bad things, he will stop him. He enhances our good qualities. Bhartrihari said that he stands strong in difficult times. If you choose selfish people as your friends, you will suffer severe loss.

A memorable alliance

Friendship is climbing the ladder of success by facing difficulties in life. Rama and Sugreeva took a vow of friendship as witnesses to the fire. They cooperated. The childhood friendship of Sri Krishna and Sudhamala, who studied under Sandeepa Maharshi, is also memorable. Vasudeva realized the miserable condition of Kuchela, who came to see him after a long time. Even if the friend did not ask, he blessed him with immense wealth. Priamitra, who believed in him, crowned Karna as the king of the kingdom of Anga, and Duryodhana honored him. Theirs is a friendship beyond gratitude. Gratitude transcends friendship. Their bond is strengthened by the combination of these two.

What is true friendship?

True friendship strengthens the trust and bond between the two. Friendship is not about hanging out with friends and sharing messages on social media. The concept of friendship has a wide meaning. A friend gives a chance to mold a man’s life in Sri Mahattara. Blessed are those who use it. True friendship helps in the holistic development of personality.

Milk Justice

‘Vidura Neeti’ explains who to choose as friends, how to deal with them, and what the limits of friendship are. A good friend adds to our joys, removes our sorrows, and uplifts us. Friends should practice mild justice. Milk imparts whiteness and flavor to water mixed with it. Also, a friend should share his best qualities with his friend. Friendship flourishes based on sentimentality, broad-mindedness, and sincere determination… these three. It is up to us whom we choose not to talk to.
