Develop Devotion

Control your mind, speech and actions. Speak the truth. Be calm. Discipline the senses.
Hear, recite, sing and meditate on the deeds, qualities and Avataras of Hari.
Have exclusive devotion to the Lord. Give your whole mind to Him. Do not allow any
outside worldly impressions wherein there is an iota of selfish desire to enter into your
subconscious mind. Learn how to sing, interchange devotion and love each other and speak to each
other of the glory of the Lord, till your hairs stand on end and sing and dance till you lose yourself in
devout contemplation.
