Company of Holy Men

Yudhistira was already feeling very composed.
Bhishma said - It is difficult to cut off the bonds of the material world. The one who does is the great soul. Soul is the same in all. It is part of the divinity.
The illusion or Maya makes one create friends and enemies. It makes one gather material things. They say things like Me Mine. They do not remember Hari.
One who will take the name of Hari and enjoy the company of the Holy Men will get salvation.
There was once a hunter called Kalik. He was a cruel person.
One day he happened to arrive in a beautiful garden where there happened to be a temple. He saw a priest there. He asked the priest who he was. The priest said he was Uttanka.
The hunter saw that the idol of the God was decorated with many valuable jewels. He decided to kill the priest and rob the valuables. Taking a sword when he tried to kill the priest, the priest asked the reason for this action and then started telling him about God and Soul.
This made the hunter think. His sins were gone the moment he had touched the priest.
He bowed down at the feet of the priest and taking the name of the Lord achieved salvation.
