A sage realises his unity, his spiritual oneness with others. He sees their suffering and out of compassion, devotion and love, he stays on the earth plane - to serve and to suffer for all creatures - until they become purified and attain illumination. He is a saint who has conquered the senses, who is endowed with righteous conduct, who speaks sweet words even to those who are crooked by nature, and whose heart is always softened by tender feelings for others. He is a saint who has shaken off all attachments, who is never swayed by lust, greed or anger, who is constantly established in righteousness, who is wise, humble, modest and forgiving. A saint is compassionate - he is free from violence, greed, hypocrisy and duplicity. He regards earthly riches as poison. A saint is forbearing. He has a generous heart and possesses great fortitude and discrimination. A saint is free from egoism and selfishness - he is liberated. A saint is the one to be worshipped. He is a paramahamsa. He has shaken off everything. Each saint proclaims the same truth but his teachings are adapted to suit the requirements of his time and area of influence. He who looks upon everything with an equal eye, who is perfectly calm and serene, who does not covet anything, and who is the friend of all he is a real saint. Sri Vasishta tells Rama: " An acarya's (preceptor's) grace, if it becomes en rapport with his disciple, will of itself, in a mysterious manner, enable the disciple to perceive directly the Brahmic principle within, though it is impossible for the guru to point to Brahman as `this' or `that', or for the disciple to understand how it is, prior to his direct perception. Each should cognise it within himself, through his own jnana (intuition) and with the aid of the acarya (preceptor) and an understanding of the true significance of the many scriptures. It is indeed very rare to attain that state without the help of a guru and spiritual book. Should all three combine - that is, an acarya, jnana sastra (scripture dealing with self knowledge) and a true disciple, then it is certain that the seat beyond all bondage will be attained.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Dear Sir, To develop the qualities of Saintliness you first have to surrender to a Great Vaishnava Spiritual Master like Srila Prabhupada. You have to give up the bad habits of meat eating, intoxication, illicit sex & gambling. The most important point is that you have to chant the holy names of GOD (Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare/ Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare) at least 4 rounds on your chanting beads. Slowly by this spiritual practice you yourself will develop the qualities of a Saint in yourself. I'm sending you a book called " A second Chance " by Srila Prabhupada for your evaluation-Kindly check attachment. Hare Krishna Pranjal Johry mohammed. A.
