________________ Those with lack of maturity and understanding immediately spread the news that Maharaj Saheb and Mahasatiji had stayed together all night. People are always in a hurry to draw their own conclusions or to pass comments, without reaching to the root of the problem and knowing the details of the matter. The negligent should never be assigned responsibility as they will wander from place to place and also make others wander. When given a responsibility, they assume that they are the most knowledgeable and perfect people. Parmatma has defined five types of conduct according to substance, area, time, circumstance and feelings. Shrut, Aagam, Aagna, Dharna and Jit are the different conducts of an ascetic. Why are five different types of conduct assigned to a saint? The reason is that the conductor action of a knowledgeable person should be in accordance to his circumstances. An ascetic has to act as most suited to substance, area, time and circumstances. It is mentioned in the Aagam that they must perform their spiritual activities(sadhana) in accordance with the area and time. Doing the right thing at the right time is Religion. But ifone fails to act so, it would be irreligious.
