Stand firm on the rock of Truth or Brahman. Have a firm grip of the reality, the
self-luminous, immortal Atman or Soul. Equip yourself with the four means.
Try to do daily as many virtuous actions as possible. Repeat mentally or silently or with the
breath, the name of the Lord such as Hari Om, Sri Ram or your Ishta Mantra. Performance of
virtuous actions is the beginning of spiritual life.

Indriyas and mind, practise meditation, realise the Self and be free for ever.
