Answers
Our scriptures say 'Atithi Devo bhava', this implies that we should treat a guest like God. We should give him due respect. In olden days, if any visitor came to the house at mealtimes, it was necessary to offer him food. On some occasions the host used to wash the feet of the guest. Then he would take him inside and make him sit with due respect and honour.
A visitor comes to our house hoping to get a loving welcome and acceptance. He comes to share his joys or sorrows with us. We should not disappoint him. Happiness increases when it is shared and unhappiness reduces on being shared. So we should welcome the guest and consider it a good omen.
We should always keep in mind and think about the response we would expect when we go to visit someone. We should behave in the same way we would like others to behave with us. When a guest comes to the house there is gaiety and fun. Man is a social animal. When we interact in a friendly manner goodwill is promoted in society. People come closer to each other and there is happiness all around.
