follows: (a) Make genuine efforts in quest of a
'Sadguru' and closely associate
yourself with him again and again. (b) When such a sublime association is not
feasible, be in the company of the nobles. Study the scriputres attentively and have a true conviction of one's own self. Be a true 'Mumukshu' (seeker of the truth) by cultivating peace, contentment, simplicity, humility, benevolence, non-violence and
non-addiction in day-to-day life. (d) Having acquired 'true mumukshuta'
(search for self) purify and concentrate your mind by repeated practice of remembering the sublime virtues, holy features and divine incidences of the Lord and the Preceptor. Finally, practise again and again, the meditation of the absolute self, which is of the nature of unity, indivisibility, uniformity and of the nature of pure bliss and pure consciousness. Spiritual happiness can definitely and undoubtedly be attained by a combination of true conviction, constant practice, dispassion, association with the nobles and iron determination.
