Keeping Good Company

<p><strong>Bhaja Govindam</strong>, is a poem composed by&nbsp;<strong><em>Adi Sankaracharya</em></strong>. The poem has 33 verses. Verse 9 of the poem says &ldquo;<strong><em>from Satsangh(Good company) comes non-attachment, from non-attachment comes freedom from delusion, which leads to Mindfulness. From Mindfulness comes Jeevan Mukti&rdquo;</em></strong>. Jeevan Mukti is the ultimate goal of a human as per Hinduism. There are four goals of human called Purusharthas &mdash; Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha. Moksha at the basic level means &ldquo;liberation from the cycle of death &amp; birth&rdquo;. This liberation can happen while alive or after death &mdash; Jeevan Mukti is moksha while alive &amp; videhamulti is moksha after death. Sankaracharya here states that one can become a Vedeha Mukta (liberated while living) in this life and it starts with having Good Company &mdash; Satsangatve.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/short-sweet-valuable/keeping-good-company-cf9cb4e08816"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
