In Chapter 3, while advising Annasaheb Dabholkar, Sai Baba gives very specific instructions about the type of people to avoid. He warns against associating with those who "have abandoned religious conduct" and have a "fallen character." He describes them as thoughtless individuals whose actions are ruined and who do not distinguish between what is desirable and undesirable. Baba's advice is stark; he says one should move aside when they come near and consider them "very dangerous." He even states that one should not stay in their shadow, even if it means enduring some suffering, as such association will hinder one's own spiritual goals.
