Karma And Being Familiar With People

Paramahansa Yogananda, "Choose your company carefully. Be cordial and sincere, but always maintain a little distance and reverence. Never be familiar with people. It is easy to make friends, but to keep friends you should follow this rule." (pg. 25, Sayings of Pramahansa Yogananda)

"...shared intimacy of any kind will also produce equally intimate karmic interaction," Svami Purna (pg. 88, The Truth Will Set You Free)
