We must stop indulging in conventional religious practices and let ourselves be attracted only by those that lead to salvation. One must eat very frugally and always live alone in order to reach the highest perfection of existence.

It is necessary to practice non-violence and truthfulness, not to steal and possess only what is necessary for its subsistence. We must also abstain from all sexual activity, practice austerity and purity, study the Vedas (the original Scriptures) and worship the supreme form of God, the Sovereign Person.

It is necessary to observe silence, to acquire constancy through the practice of different yogic postures, to master the circulation of vital air, to detach the senses from their objects, and then to concentrate the mind on the heart.

It is called meditation of the mind, fixing the vital breath as well as the thought on one of the six circles where the vital breath circulates inside the body, and thus concentrating its mind on the transcendent entertainments of the Sovereign Lord.

Through these practices, or by any other recognized way, it is necessary to master the unbridled mind, which is soiled by matter and always yields to the attraction of material pleasure, and thus to establish itself in the thought of the Sovereign Lord.

Having mastered the mind and seated postures, one must arrange a seat in a secluded and sanctified place, sit in an easy posture, maintain the body upright, and practice breathing control.

The spiritualist must release the passage of the vital breath by breathing as follows: he must first inhale very deeply, then hold his breath, and finally exhale. Or, by reversing the process, it can first exhale, then hold the air outside, to finally inhale. The purpose of this practice is to gain stability of the mind and to free it from all external disturbances.

The spiritualists who practice these breathing exercises are soon freed from any mental disturbance, just as gold is freed from all impurity when it is plunged into the fire and fanned.

By the practice of the mastery of the breath one can eliminate the defilement of his physiological condition, and by the concentration of the mind, free himself from any guilty act. By the discipline of the senses one can escape the contact of matter, and by meditation on God, the Sovereign Person, one can free oneself from the grip of the three attributes or forms of influences of material nature; virtue, passion and ignorance, material attachment source. When the mind is thus purified by this practice of yoga, then it is necessary to focus on the tip of the nose, with half-closed eyes, and contemplate the form of the Sovereign Lord.

The Sovereign Lord shows a smiling, lotus-like face, with eyes with reddish shades like the inside of a lotus, as well as a dark complexion (blue-black) like the petals of the blue lotus. In three of his hands He carries a conch, a disc and a mass.
