* Being a householder means being a man of virtues.
A sadgrihasta means a noble householder. Sath means noble or virtuous. You are householders. You must become noble householders. You must become virtuous.

* If you believe that there is happiness in money,
go to rich men and ask them whether they are swimming on the sinuous waves of happiness or are sinking into the sea of sorrows.
* Even the method of making an unworthy man, a
worthy man is a thing to be learnt. If you allow an unworthy man to remain unworthy what have you achieved after all ? Only then would you have achieved something when you have transformed an unworthy man into a worthy man. Your know
ledge and understanding will be useful then. * Do not start muttering seeing some outward ap

DISCOURSE 26
The great scriptural scholar, Acharya Shri Haribhadrasoori has described the two forms or kinds of Dharma; namely, the Grihastadharma and the Sadhudharma. Whether you call it Yatidharma or Munidharma or Sadhudharma, it is the same. He has also described the two kinds of Grihastadharma namely, the ordinary Grihastadharma and the special Grihastadharma. Ordinary Grihastadharma means the Grihastadharma that is common to all good householders and which comprises common or ordinary spiritual austerities. The special Grihastadharma implies the life of a grihasta comprising such austerities as Anuvrat, Gunavrat, and Shikshavrat coupled with the right vision or Samyagdarshan.
