DON’T EAT FROM THE MUD

Don’t Eat from the Mud: Why Purity in People and Deeds Matters More Than 5% Goodness Would you eat food from a marsh? No because even if you find something edible, you’ll be stained. So why accept people full of wrong, just because they have 5% good in them? Why do deeds that earn but leave stains on the soul? In this sharp, thought-provoking book, Dr. Abhishek Gilara shows why purity in people, deeds, and environments matters more than temporary gains. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, spirituality, and his own disciplined life, he explains: • Why toxic people stain you, even if they have “some good.” • How wrong deeds pollute the soul, no matter the profit. • The psychology of rationalization and hidden guilt. • The power of consciously choosing clean company and clean work. • How spiritual traditions like the Bhagavad Gita, Buddhism, and Jainism always emphasized satsang (good company). Blending insights from his earlier works (Don’t Take It Personally, I’m Good. They’re Not. Now What?, Mental Detox, Zero Traffic), Dr. Gilara offers a clear message: Don’t eat from the mud. Don’t justify stains. Build a life around clean people, clean deeds, and clean environments and watch how peace, growth, and happiness follow naturally
