________________
Second class; the liberated souls who live a right
life.
Third class; spiritual instructors. These are the heads of the community during the absence of the first class. Their life is holy.
Fourth class, students. They may be instructors, but that is not their special function. Their primary function is to learn and study, and that after a certain stage of holiness has been reached. True knowledge only comes with sanctity of life.
Fifth; all holy men and women who cannot be classed under the above headings, whether in this or some other part of the world..
You must concentrate upon these persons in a particular manner, not in a general manner.
The first class of holy men have 12 characteristics.
