Sadhu is the one who accepts whatever comes his way – as the blessings of God and will spend most of his time on prayers.

You have to understand the clear distinction between a Sadhu and a lazy person.

 

A Sadhu is a person who is totally dependent on God for everything – from small mundane things to anything big – even Mukti.

 

He accepts whatever comes his way – as the blessings of God and will spend most of his time on prayers. The rest of his time will be spent in taking care the basic, minimal needs of his family.

 

Sometimes, even a Sadhu's mind may be disturbed by happenings around him, unnecessary talks, gossips and others' opinion about him. But he will come out of it very soon and get back on track and continue with his prayers.
