WHY SHOULD WE SEEK COMPANY OF PEOPLE CONNECTED TO GOD?

According to Gurbani, both men and women are considered as females to God who is husband of our souls. Guruji says if this human-female keeps chasing material objects all life then husband-God doesn’t accept this wife because God doesn’t like what “she” has done with her physical shell (our body, with no Naam-Simran).
Guruji says we should cherish and respect those who do Naam-Simran because after death our body decays into mud/sand. But if we let Naam-Simran sink in our mind and our body, we get a ton of joy and eternal peace (our body emits energy, and appears colorful rather than being dull without Naam-Simran).
Although God is everywhere and within us (both good and bad people), he respects people who do Naam-Simran and provides special care for the ones who love him and have faith in him – he accepts these people. When God accepts and likes someone he blesses them with Naam-Simran and connects with them.
