Teachings :
- Once
having met a supreme master, the seeker should continuously meditate upon
his Master, serve him with devotion and pay utmost attention to His
spiritual advice, as if every word coming from His lips were a Mantra.
- Have
firm belief that it is God alone exists in every seen and unseen thing in
this universe.
- Earn
your livelihood through sincere efforts.
- Whenever
you come across an able guide on the spiritual path try to gain as much
knowledge and advice from him as possible. No master will share the knowledge
on his own, as no farm will yield crops on its own.
- While
following spiritual practice if you gain spiritual powers then do not fall
prey to the lure of using them to show miracles.
- Conduct
of the people treading the spiritual path should be pure and righteous.
- Since
the final goal of all religious faiths and sects preaching Divine
knowledge is one and the same all sects and faiths are birds of the same
feather.
- Vedic
scriptures composed by seers should be read and repeated.
- Try
to purify your mind too as you try to maintain external sanctity of the
body.
- Do
actions without expecting any rewards.
- Bookish
knowledge alone will not lead you to self-realization. Try to put the
acquired knowledge in to practice.
