Swamishri came to know of a volunteer's habit and love for eating out. On seeing him, Swamishri asked, "Do you ever think of eating poison?"

Chandrakant, the volunteer, humorously said, "By eating out I feel healthy, whereas by eating at home I get sick."

Swamishri responded seriously, "You are mad. Yesterday (in the drama) the boy was brave and resolute in not eating out, whereas you allow for such lapses!"

A sadhu added, "He believes that there's nothing wrong in eating out. Does it stop one from being a satsangi?"

Swamishri replied, "Yes, it stops one from being a satsangi!"

Then Swamishri, pulling a volunteer's scarf standing near him, asked, "You go about wearing this scarf but what are you doing?"

The volunteer said, "I don't eat out!"

Swamishri said, "I'm referring in general. A volunteer should not have lapses. One must be staunch in one's moral conduct."

Then Swamishri told a senior volunteer, "Enquire of him now and then and write a report to me."

Swamishri emphasises not to eat out because it is not healthy for the body, mind and soul.
