Sringeri Jagadguru on Sangah Satsu Vidheeyataam - Cultivate the Company of Satpurushas (Tamil):
The Jagadguru said that we must hence adhere to the instructions given by the Guru and spoke about two instructions given by Sri Adi Shankaracharya; the first one being -
सङ्गः सत्सु विधीयताम्
saṅgaḥ satsu vidhīyatām
- cultivate the company of Satpurushas.
The Jagadguru then spoke about the nature of Satpurushas; that they desire the well being of everyone -
उदारचरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्
udāracaritānāṁ tu vasudhaiva kuṭumbakam
- Satpurushas have such a big heart that they regard the entire world as one family.
It is true that we can find in any person both good and undesirable qualities. However one must only consider the good qualities in everyone. People tend to overlook all the good in a man if he is seen to commit a few sins. Even if he is by far a good man, they keep pinpointing his flaws. Did not the Lord take up the moon and keep it on his head while suppressing the Kalakuta poison in his neck, though both the moon and the poison arose from the ocean of milk? Hence one must focus on only the good qualities in others.
गुणदोषौ बुधो गृह्णन् इन्दुक्ष्वेडाविवेश्वरः ।
शिरसा श्लाघते पूर्वं परं कण्ठे नियच्छति ॥
guṇadōṣau budhō gr̥hṇan indukṣvēḍāvivēśvaraḥ ।
śirasā ślāghatē pūrvaṁ paraṁ kaṇṭhē niyacchati ॥
The Jagadguru also mentioned that Satpurushas have the habit of praising even a small good quality in others -
परगुणपरमाणून् पर्वतीकृत्य नित्यं निजहृदि विकसन्तः सन्ति सन्तः कियन्तः
paraguṇaparamāṇūn parvatīkr̥tya nityaṁ nijahr̥di vikasantaḥ santi santaḥ kiyantaḥ
(How many are the great saints who delight everyday in considering even a single good quality (be it as insignificant as an atom) found in another person as a great noble characteristic of mountainous proportions!)
We should also learn to praise the good deeds of others. Today, even if someone constructs a temple, people brush off the good deed saying “I know how he got the money to build the temple”. Have you done anything useful to keep critcising others?
The Jagadguru once again stressed that the importance of the company of such selfless Satpurushas who can help us cross even the ocean of Samsara. Has not Adi Shankaracharya said -
लोके सज्जनसङ्गतिरेका भवति भवार्णवतरणे नौका
lōkē sajjanasaṅgatirēkā bhavati bhavārṇavataraṇē naukā
(the company of Satpurushas is verily the boat to cross the ocean of Samsara)
