It is very difficult to find a friend like this. So, one should try very hard to be a friend like this to others. As the sun warms the fruitful earth, so does a good friend shines in society because of his/her good deeds.

One who is free from attachments rightly understand circumstances, and to him or her all things become new and significant. Children at school
