The characteristic of one who has attached to the Sadhu is that he remains happy in obeying the Sadhu intuitively. And he does only that work which the Sadhu tells him to do and nothing more. The Sadhu remains concerned for him and regularly enquires about him after five days, one month, two months or four months. And if the Sadhu did not look after him, he would be spoilt, therefore he looks after him. But one who is of a lazy and arrogant nature is not able to think of anything, therefore, it is better to let him loose. Since if he is forced, he would become depressed.
