If it gets the company of the other, then it becomes strong. So, when both combine, that is dangerous. If there is only one of the two, then there is no problem. In that, Maharaj emphasized this, the external bad company. External bad company is such that even if we are in a lot of external bad company, we don't let the inner bad company stir, but it doesn't last long. But the strange thing is that the bad company that exists today cannot act on its own. But it incites the bad company within us and acts through it.
