Parables:HOW'S A FALLEN SANNYASI?

HOW'S A FALLEN SANNYASI Do you know how it looks for a Sannyasi to accept money or to be attached to an object of temptation? It is as if a brahmana widow who had practised continence and lived on simple boiled rice and vegetables and milk for many years, were suddenly to accept an untouchable as her paramour. There was a low-caste woman named Bhagi Teli in our part of the country. "She had many disciples and devotees. Finding that she, a Sudra, was being saluted by people, the land-lord became jealous and engaged a wicked man to tempt her. He succeeded in corrupting her and all her spiritual practice cameto nothing. A fallen Sannyasi is like that.
