AHMEDABAD: Becoming a 'sanyasi' by renouncing the world does not absolve you from the responsibility of maintaining your family. Gujarat high court has advised a person, who had left his job and turned to spirituality and social work, to strive to earn something so that he could pay maintaintenance to his estranged wife. Two years later, the court ordered Udasi to pay his wife Rs 3,500 every month. Later, he left his job to stay in Ananddham Ashram in New Delhi which is managed by Vishwa Jagruti Mission. The duty to provide maintenance has to be fulfilled even by earning money through physical labour."
