Devotees, especially sannyasis, should be responsible and cautious

A devotee must be very responsible. He must act in such a way that nobody
can blame him. Otherwise everyone say, "What kind of devotee he is?" So this
is the duty. They should be very cautious. A sannyasi, they should be very
cautious. Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, sannyasira alpa-chidre bahu kari' mane.
An ordinary grhastha, or… Grhastha only, If he talks with woman nobody
will blame. He is grhastha. But if a sannyasi talks with woman very
intimately, oh, immediately people will take note of it. Sannyasira
alpa-chidre bahu kari' mane. That is the practice. He should be very
cautious. So a devotee, a sannyasi, they have got very, very great
responsibility. People will very easily criticize them.
