With elucidation by Swami Sadhanananda Giri (initalics)
-
Consider yourself humble. You are connected to every soul. Pray and serve and always remember you are small(inconsequential). You are His sevak (servant). You are connected to everybody. It isnot a physical connection but connection of prana.
-
Regularly do satsangha i.e. regularly associate yourself with spiritual people andread satgrantha i.e. spiritual books (SrimadBhagavatam, Srimad BhagabadGita, Upanishads etc.)
-
At intervals, meet together and collectively discuss spiritual topics. You can discuss sadhana experiences with your Gurubrothers and sisters only.
-
Never disrespect any name or form of the Divine.
-
Every year, for one month, remain away from your house, family, near and dear ones. If not possible for one month; at least a fortnight or one week or minimum three days. During this time do sadhana, kriyas, meditate, japas, etc. You should not spend this time idly or simply in chitchat.
