What would Bal Sadhu do if he came to the school he previously attended?
A Bal Sādhu has taken dīkshā and left his previous worldly identity – including “my school, my friends, my teachers”.
If he comes near the school he once attended, he would:
- Not go there to “see old friends” or “remember old days”.
- Not behave like a former student – no chatting, laughing, hugging, or emotional talk.
- Keep full vairaagya (detachment) – no pride, no attachment, no nostalgia.
- If someone recognizes him, he would speak only as needed, politely and very briefly, in a spiritual way.
- If teachers or students bow or ask questions, he may give simple dharm-updesh and then quietly move on.
In short: He would remain a true sadhu – detached, careful in conduct, and not revive old relations or memories connected with that school.
