All good virtues are attained through practice and the company of good people. However, faith in God and his Sadhu is attained due to the favourable impressions of past births and the consequent grace of the great. So, the time for which one is able to stay in the company of the great should be understood as due to one’s past meritorious deeds and his grace. And a person’s greatness should be understood according to the faith in God he has propagated.
