Como norma de etiqueta, los sannyāsīs, que se hallan en el cuarto estado de la vida espiritual, se presentan respetos unos a otros diciendo: oṁ namo nārāyaṇāya («Ofrezco respetuosas reverencias a Nārāyaṇa»). Los sannyāsīs māyāvādīs suelen emplear este saludo. Conforme a las Escrituras smṛti, los sannyāsīs no deben esperar nada de nadie, ni deben considerarse idénticos a la Suprema Personalidad de Dios. Los sannyāsīs vaiṣṇavas nunca se consideran uno con el Señor; siempre se consideran sirvientes eternos de Kṛṣṇa, y desean ver que todas las personas del mundo se vuelven conscientes de Kṛṣṇa. Por esa razón, el sannyāsī vaiṣṇava siempre ofrece bendiciones a los demás diciendo: kṛṣṇe matir astu («Que seas consciente de Kṛṣṇa»).

It is the etiquette among sannyāsīs, those on the fourth platform of spiritual life, to offer respects by saying oṁ namo nārāyaṇāya (“I offer my respectful obeisances unto Nārāyaṇa”). This greeting is used especially by Māyāvādī sannyāsīs. According to the smṛti scriptures, a sannyāsī should not expect anything from anyone, nor should he consider himself identical with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Vaiṣṇava sannyāsīs never think of themselves as being one with the Lord; they always consider themselves eternal servants of Kṛṣṇa, and they want to see everyone in the world become Kṛṣṇa conscious. For this reason, a Vaiṣṇava sannyāsī always offers his blessings to everyone, saying kṛṣṇe matir astu (“May you become Kṛṣṇa conscious”).
