"Avoid getting mixed with the company of the ungodly. Do not see their activities or listen to their accounts. Only those who avoid them can be called Bhagavathas, or God’s own. Man’s nature is Prema (Love). He cannot survive a moment, when deprived of Love. It is the very breath of his life. When the six vices (anger, hate, greed, envy, lust and pride), to which he was attached so long, disappear, Love is the only occupant of the heart; but Love has to find an object, a Loved one. It cannot be alone. So, it is directed to the dark-blue Divine Child, the charming cowherd Boy, who is purity personified, who is the embodiment of service, sacrifice and selflessness, who has taken residence in that cleansed Altar. There is no scope now for any other attachment to grow. So, step by step, this Love for Madhava (God) becomes deeper, purer, more self-denying, until at last, there is no other need for thought and the individual is merged in the Universal. Darkness and light cannot exist at the same time and in the same place; they cannot continue together. Dhanam (riches) and Daivam (God) cannot be joint ideals. When riches (material objects) are sought, God cannot also be achieved. If both are sought by man what he will achieve will be neither Dhanam nor Daivam but Dayyam (the Devil)." From Bhagavatha Vahini book written by Sai Baba
