Noble Words : The company of Illustrious mind !

It has always been said that the company of a learned and illustrious person is alwsyd beneficial. As one will always gets somethingbfrom their association. My Dad always says to make friendship with elder people so that we can get some knowledge and learning from their experience. The younger one with immature mind won't give anything fruitful in life. Today I have a very similar looking Sanskrit verses that tells the same :

गम्यते यदि म्रगेन्द्र मन्दिरम प्राप्यते करि कपोल मौक्तिकम्

जम्बुकालय गते च प्राप्यते बच्छ पुच्छ खर चर्म खण्डनम्

Gamyatey yadi Mrigendra mandiram prapyate kari kapol mauktikam
Jambukaalaya gatey cha prapyate baccha puccha khar charma khandanam.

Mrigendra = King of beasts i.e.a Lion.
Kari = Elephant .
Mauktik = Pearl
Jambuk = A jackal.
Khar = a donkey
Charma = skin
khandanam = bones

i.e. If one visits the den of a Lion he will find the pearl of an Elephant's head, but if he visits the lair of a Jackal he will find there the tail of a calf, the skin and bones of an Ass.

In Hindu mythology it is believed that inside the skull of an Elephant a pearl like substance is found which is termed as 'Gaja Mauktik' i.e. a pearl found inside an Elephant's skull. The underlying idea behind these lines is that if a person visits the house of an illustrious person he will find many valuable things, but if he visits the house of an ordinary person he will find things which are very insignificant , ordinary or even useless.

Working alongside accomplished individuals provides access to expertise and valuable lessons. You can learn from their experiences, strategies, and problem-solving approaches, enhancing your own skills and knowledge. Working with talented and accomplished individuals can inspire you to reach your full potential, providing valuable mentorship and knowledge transfer. Additionally, the presence of influential figures can open doors to new opportunities and connections, potentially leading to career growth and broader recognition.

Learning is Passion!!
