(vi) Cultivate Virtues

 

74. Harmless, mercy, character, control over senses, peace, courage

and humility are the virtues which a seeker of Truth should possess.

75. Poverty due to lack of wealth is not poverty, but lack of

virtuous qualities is indeed real poverty.

76. Not in owning bungalows or lands a man is rich. It is the

contented heart that makes a man rich.

77. When you are endowed with discrimination, dispassion,

compassion, truthfulness, the vision of God is not far to seek.

78. The aspirant should possess kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

meekness and self-control.

79. Cultivate love, utter selflessness and intense aspiration.

80. Wide open is the gage of immortality for those who are endowed

with faith, courage, discrimination, dispassion, devotion, self-

restraint, aspiration and concentration.

81. When you qualify yourself by the cultivation of high

aspirations, virtuous qualities, God's or Guru's grace is vouchsafed

to you without any hindrance.

82. Grace is not partially shown to anyone whom God prefers. Grace

is the outcome and fruition of your own inner, persistent desire and

devotion to your higher ideal of perfection and liberation.
