[Guest guest]

1) personal cleanliness2) tidiness of dress3) habitual wearing of vibhuti and kumkum on the forehead; 4) equal sharing of all enjoyments with those around him; 

5) strict adherence to a time schedule;6) performing useful work however ‘low’ it be; 7) never leaving a work unfinished; 8) the pursuit of perfection in every action; 9) incessant activity except while sleeping or resting after a spell of hard work; 

10) never considering oneself superior to others; 11) speaking the truth always, or strict silence if the expression of a truth would hurt or lower the reputation of others; 12) perfect self-help; 

13) never asking another to do a piece of work which can be done by oneself; 14) taking full responsibility for failure, if any, without shifting the blame on others; 15) accepting success and failure with equanimity; 

16) never disturbing the peace of others; 17) leaving the leaf or plate clean after eating; 18) complete noninterference in the affairs of others; 19) never worrying about the future.

These are the lessons Sri Ramana taught by example to his devotees. We should try to follow the example of the Maharshi with all the strength of the body, mind and spirit.Of what the Maharshi taught in the realm of spirit, words fail and I dare not write. Moments Remembered, page 72
