The Acharyas should not touch any woman except those who are closely related to them. Similarly they should not talk with such women. He should avoid all situations or places where such a confrontation is unavoidable. Vishnudharmotara explains, 'Gurus, even though they are considered great, can face destruction swiftly in the company of women, by not controlling their senses and through selfishness of wealth.' They should also never be cruel to anybody - Gurvo Hi Dayalavaha - 'A Guru is always compassionate,' explain Smruti. Furthermore, they should not accept any deposits (hold money for anybody else). Shatanand explains that such an act can lead to unnecessary arguments and fall-outs.
