Listen while I tell you the path to liberation: Truth, patience, calmness and discipline of self, discrimination between the eternal and the passing; devotion to the humble servants of the Lord; rising in the early morning and bathing before daybreak; repeating in the way prescribed the flawless Letters Five; worshiping the guru’s feet; applying holy ash; eating but when hungry; with the whole heart giving praise; studying the shastras; seeing others as oneself; severing attachment to all property and wealth; speaking with fit courtesy; avoiding argument; driving from the mind all thought of family and caste; being ever free of the smallest like or dislike; living and abiding ‘neath the Lord’s eternal feet.

Natchintanai, “Path to Liberation.” NT, 33
