For one beyound sakkāyadiṭṭhi, having gained path, not so for one haven't gained yet, as he should seek strong association with good friends:

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa

4. Saṇgaṇikārāmasuttaṁ
Attachment to get into contact with another

[007.04] Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu attached to coming into contact with another, a lover of a crowd should take pleasure in seclusion is not a possibility. Not secluded and the mind not delighting in seclusion should seize a sign is not a possibility. When the mind does not take the sign, that the bhikkhu should be complete in right view is not a possibility. Without completing right view, he should be complete in right concentration is not a posibility. Without completing right concentration, that he should dispel bonds is not a possibility. Without dispelling bonds that he should realize extinction is not a possibility.

What does Guest and all others, coming across here, think?

Is someone, who desires after group identification, after socializing, somehow off of the Brahmacariya, to be expected being beyound the low fetter of sakkāyadiṭṭhi?

Someone thinking in manners "my group", "not my group, kind", can he be expected to be a possible admirable friend, a good teacher?

If having the chance to either enjoy to be part of a community and "treated with candies" of approve for conceit, or to chose situations where such can be not so expected but much space to learn and do merits, which choice would a Noble person, even if "just" a Sotapanna make?

Or different asked, would he/she still seek after association with common people beyond the most needed to fulfill duties of certain relations still "caught" in?
