Companion
Dutiya Sutta  (SN 1:59)

“What is a person’s companion?
What is it that instructs him?
Taking delight
in what 		
	does a mortal
	gain release
	from all suffering & stress?”
“Conviction is a person’s companion.
Discernment is what instructs him.
Taking delight
in unbinding,
	a mortal
	gains release
	from all suffering & stress.”
