Question : What is following? What is the difference of following with Abidance and Imitating?

Answer:

Following is that someone considers in a special case the other's who are better than him and then follows him. One who follows has no idea ,no word of himself ,but he just follows the others he has accepted. He always see one whom he follows and can not move without him .The follower puts his foot on the trace of him and does not take any action without his permit.

Abidance means that some one near s in a case the other person who is better than him and agrees  with him and feels humble toward him .They are like chief and subordinate .Such a person can move without the one who is better  , but accept his thoughts because he is better.  It means that he disregard himself and accept his thoughts , so abidance is prior to following and the following is surely dutiful.

Imitation means one who follows in his beliefs,traditions , behavior and living ,the instruction of his masters, fathers , great man , i.e. he considers himself unable in an affair so he follows the connoisseur and accepts completely whatever he says.

 In imitation ,the person has no idea and is unable ,so he is back for one degree,it means that the person imitating ,obeys too.

(imitation is a sub category of abidance and they are both sub categories of imitation).
