## 84. Mulachara
**187.** All day and night, one should speak as appropriate. This is the conduct of the Aryas, as previously stated. *Meaning:* Just as the conduct of the Muni Rajas has been described, so too should the Aryas conduct themselves appropriately throughout the day and night. The Aryas do not engage in practices like tree-root worship.
**188.** The Aryikas are mutually supportive and protective of one another. They are free from anger, hatred, and deceit. They are characterized by modesty, which arises from fear of public censure, and by discipline, which leads them to the path of righteousness. These qualities are conducive to the well-being of both families.
**189.** The Aryikas are constantly engaged in study, recitation, listening, contemplation, and meditation. They are also dedicated to austerity, humility, and self-control. *Meaning:* They are constantly engaged in the study of scriptures, reciting what they have learned, listening to scriptures, contemplating the impermanence of things, and meditating on the nature of reality. They are also dedicated to austerity, humility, and self-control.
