Shloka : 190
न्यासो रक्ष्यो न कस्यापि धैर्यं त्याज्यं न कर्हिचित
न प्रवेशयितव्या च स्वावासे स्त्री कदाचन ॥ 190 ॥
અને કોઈની થાપણ ન રાખવી અને ક્યારેય પણ ધીરજતાનો ત્યાગ ન કરવો; અને પોતાના ઉતારાની જાયગા, બંધીની હોય તો, તેને વિષે ક્યારેય પણ સ્ત્રીનો પ્રવેશ થવા દેવો નહિ. ॥ 190 ॥
And he should not keep anybody’s valuable things or money as deposit; he should never loose patience; he should not allow any woman to enter the place where he is staying. || 190 ||
Commentary
The Tyagi devotees of Shri Hari should not keep anybody’s (known or unknown) valuables as a deposit i.e. with the promise of keeping it safe. He should not keep the valuables of others with him, because this can distract his mind and it could cause unnecesssary sufferrings or dispute.
And the Tyagi Sadhus should never loose their patience, evenif, they do not get any alms due to some disturbances at that particular time or place. To cultivate the virtue of patience, they should learn to be compassionate, friendly and modest towards all the living beings, and should feel friendly towards the devotees of God. They should serve and visit the moveable and inmoveable places of pilgrimage. They should learn to serve the Bhagwat i.e. renounced saints specifically, and they should learn to communicate about the glory of Shri Hari among themselves. They should try to give up competitive approach among themselves, try to learn affection, satisfaction and the solution to eliminate all the miseries. They should learn to forgive, because forgiveness is the greatest virtue of a saint.
Moreover, the Tyagi Sadhus should not allow a woman to enter the place where they are staying. They should never ask a woman to bring the required food, water etc., but should ask a man to deliver such things. And they should never allow a woman to sweep or mop the temple or a boarding house where they are staying. But they should do it themselves or let other man do it. The Tyagis who follow celibacy should not use the places to bathe or freshen up etc., which are being used by women also. The Tyagi devotees of Shri Hari should not stay or spend night in a room which is separated from that of a woman by only a wall, unless during (the time of) an emergency.
