सद्भि: क्षिणोति तं तर्षं तत आराद्विशुद्ध्यति ॥
sadbhiḥ kṣiṇoti taṁ tarṣaṁ tata ārād viśuddhyati |
(Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: 10.10.17)
“Because of [association with] sādhus, that desire [i.e., desire for the mundane] wanes, and then one quickly becomes pure.”
Commentary
tataś ca sadbhiḥ sat-saṅga-mahimnaiva taṁ tarṣaṁ tṛṣṇāṁ … svayam eva kṣiṇoti kṣiṇīkaroti tat-kṛpālabdhasya bhakty-amṛtasya tṛṣṇāhara-svabhāvatvāt |
(Excerpt from the Sārārtha-darśinī-ṭīkā)
“Because of sādhus, that is, just because of the power of the association of sādhus, that desire [i.e., desire for the mundane] wanes of its own accord, since removing [such] desire is the nature of the nectar of bhakti, which is attained by their [i.e., the sādhus’] grace.”
