Shloka : 125

प्रतिभूत्वं न कस्यापि कार्यं च व्यावहारिके ।

भिक्षयाऽऽपदतिक्तम्या न तु कार्यमृणं क्वचित् ॥ 125 ॥

અને વ્યવહારકાર્યને વિષે કેનું પણ જમાનગરું ન કરવું. અને કોઈ આપત્કાળ આવી પડે તો, ભિક્ષા માગીને પોતાનો નિર્વાહ કરીને તે આપત્કાળને ઉલ્લંઘવો; પણ કોઈનું કરજ તો ક્યારેય ન કરવું. ॥ 125 ॥

And they should not offer security for any worldly duty. And during emergency, they should support themselves by accepting the alms and pass through the emergency, but should not accumulate anyone's debt. || 125 ||

Commentary

The Acharyas assigned by Shri Hari should not offer their security for any worldly activity (duty) like buying, selling, receiving money, paying money etc. for his own people or for other people. "If he does not fulfill his commitment, then I will do it" Dharmavanshi Acharyas should never make such promises, because it can create great troubles.

And these Acharyas should survive by accepting the alms as prescribed for the Brahmins by the scriptures during the emergency caused by the fate like theft of their wealth or valuables etc., but they should never accumulate debt. Because the debt can cause a lot of pain. And by chance if the debt cannot be repaid then the holy deeds 'Punya' accumulated earlier, go to the moneylender. This principle of Shriji Maharaj which explains not to accumulate debt, should be followed by all. Here, it has been mentioned as a specific code of conduct for the Acharyas as it is a necessary instruction for them. And moreover, by following it, they can instruct their disciples for the same.
