Every aspirant who seeks the Eternal through the path of devotion should strive
to acquire these characteristics: He must
[1) keep away from the turmoils, the cruelties, the falsehoods of this world;
(2) practise truth, righteousness, love and peace;
(3) discard as worthless both praise and blame, appreciation and derision, prosperity and adversity;
(4) keep steady faith in his own Innate Reality; and
(5) dedicate himself to spiritual uplift
divinely sent
