The Distinquish Features of that saint / mystic word practioner is as follows:-
**He will never use public offerings / oblation for himself and for his family and will subsist on his own earnings may do job , service, shop or his patrimonial / ancestral assets i.e. earnings from agricultural farming etc.
Sadhu means self control.
For example :- Kabir Sahib Ji says " Mar Jauon Mangu Nahi Apne Tan Ke Kaaj" .
Kabir Sahib Ji worked as weaver for life long for his and his family subsistance , while king / emperor were his pupils.
Maharaj Ravidas Ji worked as cobbler for whole life for subsistance while king pipa was his pupil and many other likely.
Baba Naam Dev Ji worked as dyeing of shawls and clothes.
Guru Nanak Sahib Ji done farming at kartarpur( now in pakistan).
Hazoor Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj subsisted on his pension . He earned from his service in MES( military engineering service) and so on..........
** He will practice/meditate Mystic word/ Naam which resounds above the eyes 24 hours without break means (mann yaar<god>val , hath kaar val ) meditate while working
**He himself will be self controlled & instructs his followers for self control
**He will always maintain high character & instructs his followers to maintain high character ,by treating all others like, brother/sister, daughter/son, mother/father, except wife/husband , respectively
**He will never censure /revilement any creature & will instructs followers to avoid censure
**He will be pure vegitarian & instructs his followers to be vegitarian, will never permit non-veg, alcohol, etc to use.
**He will never grab another's wealth/money abstain from greed & instructs his followers abstain from avarice.
**He and his followers will avoid arrogance.
So these are some main features to be self controlled , but now a days this is the matter of regret that no body enquire/quest about these features of a Sadhu /Saint and the people / followers are dissipating in this illusion. As Soami ji says : -
" ka se kahun khoj nahi kahoo'n dhokhe dhaar bahaa"
