Subhashita #0002

Sādhu-saṅga can make a disqualified person achieve the impossible:

asajjanaḥ sajjana-saṅgi-saṅgāt
karoti duḥsādhyam apīha sādhyam
puṣpāśrayāc chaṁbhu-śiro 'dhirūḍhā
pipīlikā cumbati candra-bimbam

"By the association of great souls, a rascal can achieve the impossible, just as an ant in the association of a flower on the hair of Lord Shiva can actually perform the feat of touching the moon."

- (Subhāṣita-ratna-bhāṇḍāgāra, Sat-saṅgati-praśaṁsā, page 87)
