Intercourse with the good is attainable only by the blessing of Rama and without it wisdom is impossible.

Excerpt

Intercourse with the good is attainable only by the blessing of Rama and without it wisdom is impossible: it is the root of all joy and felicity; its flowers are good works and its fruit perfection. By it the wicked are reformed; as when by the touch of the philosopher's stone a vile metal becomes gold.

Today, take the time to call, write to or meet a good person around you, and thank them for what they bring you.
