Summary

1. That which befits a householder is not appropriate for a renunciant, and that which befits a renunciant is not appropriate for a householder.
2. A renunciant should think, “Which āshram do I belong to?” But he should not stray onto some inappropriate path like a fool.
3. If a wise person is scolded, he would consider the scolder’s virtues; however, if someone offers advice to a fool, the fool would be offended.
4. Shriji Mahārāj likes one who servers with shraddhā and without jealousy.
