BANK ACCOUNT IS NOT FOR SANNYASI
Any householder requires some deposit in the bank for emergency. That is, of
course, allowed for householders. But we are sannyasi; we are renounced
order. We haven't got to accumulate any money. That is the system of Indian
philosophy. But those who are householder, family men, they may have some
deposit for emergency. Otherwise, those who are renounced order, those who
are brahmacari, for them to keep money separately for his maintenance or for
accumulating bank balance is not allowed.
