Guest guest Posted May 2, 2001 Report Share Posted May 2, 2001 Another feature of the devotee is nirihaya, simple living. Niriha means "gentle,meek" or "simple." A devotee should not live very gorgeously and imitate a materialistic person. Plain living and high thinking are recommended for a devotee. He should accept only so much as he needs to keep the material body fit for the execution of devotional service. He should not eat or sleep more than is required. Simply eating for living, and not living for eating, and sleeping only six to seven hours a day are principles to be followed by devotees. >>> Ref.
