are not alone, but there are five of you. Is he likely to tell you
to go back when he sees the five of you? Of course, he will not.
Instead he is courteous and invites you all inside. Our people
are generally very polite.
Questioner: Yes, he will invite us al l in.
Dadashri: Your friend would welcome you and make
you comfortable, but what do you think he is thinking in his

operation. Visitors come because of a pending account, so one
should not spoil his bhaav. He should stay within the laws of
nature and offer the visitors whatever he can. Even the leftovers
from the evening meal would be adequate. The visitors are not
