Chanakya Neeti

siva.sh/chanakya-neeti/12/7

सत्सङ्गाद्भवति हि साधुना खलानां साधूनां नहि खलसङ्गतः खलत्वम् । आमोदं कुसुमभवं मृदेव धत्ते मृद्रन्धं नहि कुसुमानि धारयन्ति ॥७II

sanskrit

Virtues can arise in the mind of a wicked person if he attends satsang with a saint. But a saint does not get polluted by associating with the wicked, just as a flower that falls on the ground makes the earth fragrant but the flower does not absorb the smell of the earth.
