The passages from Chapter 9 explain that the right to live on alms is not for everyone. It is reserved for a person who has achieved a firm realization and determination of their oneness with the universe, embodying the idea that "The whole universe is my home; I am Vasudeva, the sustainer of the world." Such an individual is called a "universal family member." Furthermore, the text specifies that before one can even wish to live on alms, they must first renounce the three primary desires: the desire for sons, the desire for wealth, and the desire for fame. Only one who is free from these attachments is truly qualified.
