- Love
In Bhakti the object of love - God, is eternal, infinite and immortal.
This guarantees two things: the love that is directed towards Him becomes immortal, and the lover that is thus linked to the immortal is also immortalised.
- Meditate
The buddhi must face inwards.
The mind must face inwards and by that light provided by God, we will see the world as it is and not have false values.
- Realise
When in the light of knowledge there is neither seeking nor avoidance, there is freedom.
In that freedom the inner awareness spontaneously functions "in the present".
- Give
When I want to discover myself, I must not assume that there is only God or goodness in me, but I must also have the courage to face the non-God in me.
- Give
Austerity, charity and self-sacrifice are indeed essential, not for Self-realisation, but for Self purification.
