Good association increases our attachment to the highest truth. Those who come to attend discussions on absolute truth are compared to hamsas or swans. The swan never goes so low to eat the garbage on the side of the street. Its mind is fixed on attaining the nectar in the whorl of the lotus flower. The greatest, pure-hearted human beings are called Paramahamsas; they are like the supreme swans.

Haribolll!!!!!!!!, Thanks Maharaj for the right Attitude / of Greatness of Devotees……
great ,this is treu definition of param hamsas
Jai !
Wonderfully said by Radhanath Swami about the proper association.
Excellent, Thank you Radhanath swami maharaj
Association of pure devotees is so essential to all of us!
Radhanath Swami is one such swan-like person.
Wonderful definition of swan like persons. The greatest difference between swans and crows are that crows always seek shelter under some garbage boxes while swans exract the milk in a mixture of milk and water. Radhanath Swami has captured this point very nicely here.
Association of parhamsas devotees saves one from the greatest danger of life……
let us all, to say the least, start appreciating the swan-like person, Radhanath Swami.
in due course of time, we may, by the tremendous power of his association, get some qualities which will please the Lord.
We need to go beyond the superficial appearances of people in order to find out who are the real swans around us.
Just like swan accepts only milk, Radhanath swami sees only good in others…….
It takes one to know one – only a paramhamsa like Radhanath Swami can know who a real paramhamsa is! The rest are all crow-like imitators!
Radhanath swami is truly a param hamsa.! (Supreme Swan)
Maharaj ki jai!
There is a saying, Tell me your friend, and i will tell you who you are, association is very important. Thanks you maharaj
Beautiful!
Radhanath Swami Maharaj is a Paramhamsa!
Very well put, one must be very careful with who he associates with specially bad association, just as the saying goes “One bad apple spoils the bunch”.
Very true! You are what you associate with.
Thank you Maharaj
The only hope for this world is the association of these paramahamsas.
Radhanath maharaj is giving us the direction for how to receive the love of God.
Radhanath Swami Maharaj’s shining words of wisdom fill our hearts with light.
Thank you Radhanath Swami for giving such beautiful analogies in explaining God’s mercy and love.
Thank you Maharaj for such a nice eye opener.
Such a beautiful article, thanks a lot for sharing this article
Thank you so much Prabhuji for sharing this beautiful caring realization with HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj.
Very good article
Our birth and upbringing is not in our hands. But the persons whom we associate with is rightly in our hands.
Radhanath Swami says that, highly fortunate is that soul, who gets attached to association of saintly people and quickly progresses on the spiritual path.
Nice Article!!! Our nature depends on the people we associate with. So, It’s our choice whom we associate with either good or bad
Radhanath Swami stresses here the importance of good association
This is a very true statement of Radhanath swami maharaj. Thank for this nice statement , we really need to think before associating with some one–because association does matter.
I liked it. That’s a good one.
Good Association is very important in spiritual life
Radhanath Swami is so nicely describing importance of associating with good people through this analogy.
Thank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj for the illustrating graphically power of association…..with whom to associate and why.
We should decide what we want and LOrd provides us with that but desire should be only to serve pure devotees and Sri Sri Radha Gopinath.
Truely Association of devotees is like swans taking nector together.
Somehow, just be hearing from Radhanath Swami the heart soars high into the sky og joy.
It is important to be choosy about whom we associate with just like the swan is choosy about what he eats
