A Rain Drop From The Sky

Smita Navare
1 min read
Beautiful quote by Swami Vivekanda on the power of noble kinship:

"A rain drop from the sky: if it is caught by clean hands, is pure enough for drinking. If it falls in the gutter, its value drops so much that it can’t be used even for washing your feet. If it falls on a hot surface, it will evaporate; if it falls on a lotus leaf, it shines like a pearl; and finally, if it falls on an oyster, it becomes a pearl. The drop is the same, but its existence and worth depends on whom it is associated with."

Being associated with people who are good at heart, we are more likely to experience your own inner transformation.
