In his discourse, Sai Baba warned against associating with certain types of people. Who were they and why were they considered dangerous?

In his guidance to Annasaheb, Sai Baba gave a stern warning about whom to avoid. According to the narrative in Chapter 3, one should abandon those who have abandoned religious conduct. Baba described such individuals as very dangerous, advising one to move aside when they approach and not even remain in their shadow. He characterized them as people without proper conduct, whose character is fallen, who are thoughtless, whose actions are ruined, and who cannot distinguish between what is desirable and undesirable. He questioned how such a person could ever achieve their goals, emphasizing the importance of righteous association.
