    Acharya Maharaj never discusses people's plans of arrival, departure and stay. Once, someone remonstrated, “Maharaj you do not even ask your visitors to have a seat. It does not seem proper. This basic etiquette is expected even of a sadhu."

     

    Acharya Maharaj heard him with utmost attention and then said with a smile, “Brother, this place does not belong to me. How can I invite anyone to sit here? Likewise, how can I endorse anyone's travel plans? One is bound to use some means of transport, which I have renounced. And then, if a person intends to leave just after the darshan, he would be forced to stay if I ask him to have a seat."

     

    What the Acharyas have, in fact, laid down is that a sadhu should welcome a visitor with a joyous countenance, raising his hand in a gesture of benediction. This is enough by way of etiquette. This is the courtesy that behoves a sadhu. How liberating and thoughtful this etiquette is!
