reliableness and training should remain authoritative for every moment. It should be assumed as a heinous offence to think of heterodoxy or duplicity in any form. So long as unreliableness lingers in life right knowledge cannot usher in, right contemplation cannot be conducted-in that case the formation of correct conduct is also not possible. It should not be forgotten that the biggest transformation has to be effected in today's un-authentic life.
Guileless Observance of Limits, Regulations and Abstinence :
On the elimination of fraud, reliableness ushers in and in and on its emergence a resolve awakens for the creation of a salutary and organised system of life. This adjustment is called observance of limits, regulations and abstinence limits (restrictions) are those which for the purpose of proper maintenance of the mutual relations of an individual and society, have moulded into the form of tradition. A scrutinous intellect is required to examine the traditions also. Many a times due to ignorance wrong traditions also take shape, or having lost their significance due to lapse of time, take a conventional form. Hence, only those traditions should be acknowledged in the form of restrictions (limits) which are continuing to thrive an equanimous life or even today they possess that potentiality. In the observance of those restrictions (limits) also there should be no blind following.
Social rules and regulations are those which are made for the discipline of an individual or any organization, and are being accepted by the concerned. Not only those rules or regulations which have been reduced to writing
