So he steals money and uses it to feed the woman. Now it is good that the man helped the woman, but it is bad that he stole for the purpose. Yet, because of the bad act, he could perform the good one.
Also, by general standards, beating others is bad, but if you beat someone with the motive of correcting his life, and do so without malice and without anger, this beating is a blessing to him!
Three things are bad: lust, anger and greed. And among these, anger is the worst.
There was no indoor plumbing in Rishikesh, so the many sadhus who lived there would repair to the jungle to answer nature's calls. But the women mandali, who were living in strict seclusion, could not go off to such isolated places for this purpose. The problem was solved by Baba, who instructed Krishna to have a pit dug in back of their compound. Rano, Margaret, Irene and Kitty would collect their own daily eliminations in a tin pan, which Krishna would empty in the pit and then cover with earth. That of the Eastern women, Mansari would gather and keep outside for Krishna to collect and empty.
Finding out about this, some of the local sadhus were disturbed and complained, "This holy place is being made vile!"
So Baba sent them this message with Krishna:
By eliminating in the open, flies gather and there is a possibility of some sort of disease breaking out. By throwing the elimination in the pit and covering it with earth, no flies are attracted. This is a sign of purity, not impurity.
Many of the local sadhus would come and request Baba's darshan, but since he was in seclusion, he was not meeting any outsiders.
The women would wash their clothes in the Ganges and lay them out on the sands to dry. Baba would sit and converse with them until the clothes dried. Once, when Baba was sitting on the banks, two sadhus approached and inquired, "Excuse us, can you tell us where Meher Baba is residing?"
Baba pointed to the bungalow, and Mani informed them, "In that bungalow."
They left, and Mehera chided, "You should have met them, Baba."
Baba said, "All right. To make you happy, I will meet them."
When the sadhus were walking back after some time, they were introduced to Baba, and he allowed them to bow down to him.
