KNOW YOURSELF

All impurities are washed away when one thinks and talks about god, and takes delight in his word. One should delight in the self and love god. This is developed by:

Faith and reverence

Inquiry into the truth

Worshiping great souls who have realized it

Taking delight in the word of god

Shunning association of the worldly

Learning to love solitude

By nonviolence and truthfulness

By studying the scriptures

By control of the senses

By overcoming the passions

By not talking against other religions

By patiently bearing the opposites of life like pleasure and pain, happiness and distress etc

By singing the praises of the glory of god


When love of god arises in one, he becomes master of himself and spiritual teacher of all.
