Well, our 'Living with Siva' sutra today, Lesson 12.

"All seekers of truth must endeavor to be the best in whatever they do, to excel and make a difference. However, they should remain apart from the demeaning and contentious, "winner and loser" spirit of competition."

That is a very good thing for us to caution all of the sishya. when you get to be with people, who are 'put-down' people, demeaning or contentious or argumentative. They are the 'winner-and-loser' people. They enjoy seeing somebody else suffer just a little bit. It gives them a thrill. It is their lower nature. Wisdom is to stay away from those people. Avoid their company. They change your home shrine quality.
