The Duties of the House Holder^ Rules of Good Conduct - Verse 13

If a non-lihgin (a person who is not a Sannyasin or Brahmacarin) maintains himself in the guise of a lihgin (ascetic) he shall incur the sins of those persons and shall be born as a lower animal. ! 4. The religious hypocrites and impostors are the worst sinners in the world. They are the destroyers of Dharma. The fruit of their action is that they sink into sins immediately.
