Babuji Maharaj never supported the theory, "Leave the bad habits first then start worship of God,". Babuji was of the opinion that nothing is good or bad as its decision is done by the situation. In fact excess of everything is bad. Poison may be a cure in certain cases. According to Him, love for God is the best medicine to get rid of bad habits and obstructive elements. An abhyasi can progress on his self-effort but his progress becomes fast if he is helped by the transmission of Divine Power by some capable person.
Babuji never suggested Do's and Don'ts because he was of the opinion that these come automatically in an abhyasi moving on the path of God Realization. However we should treat such thoughts like an uninvited guest and we have not to pay any heed to them.
The doctor's responsibility is more than the patient. The patient's duty is only to take medicine in time while doctor's responsibility lies in correct diagnosis of the disease; prescription of proper medicine; and monitoring the improvement in the condition of the patient. Similar case is of a Spiritual doctor whose responsibility is more than the role of the abhyasi. Inner self of abhyasi starts guiding in all situations. By simply cramming right and wrong, one cannot be well versed with them because the self guidance is a condition of mind which develops in an abhyasi in due course of time with the help of Divine Grace.
Once one fellow asked Babuji, "Sir, being a spiritual man why you take 'Hookah'?" Babuji replied, " Anything which is an obstruction or harmful to spiritual progress, should not be done. Smoking is harmful to the body but not to the spiritual upliftment. Moreover, I may take poison but if i provide nectar to you - take it. Find out the things favorable to your goal and if you do not get them, it is better to leave the place and the man. The physical of a man is simply a door, while a lot about him is inside. So it is better to peep into him to understand his real personality".
Hence one should not care of Do's and Don'ts rather one should pay attention to proper discharge of the duties in the remembrance of the Almighty.
