second, the gift of being ignited
with a longing to hear the truth and of having that longing fulfilled;
third, the gift of developing faith in and love for the true teachings one hears;
fourth, the gift of being so filled with enthusiasm and conviction as to put the teachings into practice in one's daily life.
