Sublime teachings and words of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
Page 32 of 40

Purify yourself and be free from desire. Exercise your intelligence, your spiritual knowledge and wisdom, your patience with all dualities, keep your principles holy, restrain your senses, and live in peace and absorption [concentration or meditation]. Believe and meditate on what you have learned from me without discrimination. When you have your words and your mind absorbed in Me, you are thus devoting yourself to realizing Me. With this discipline transcending the three worlds, you will be able to reach Me.

The Lord teaches us what good and bad qualities are.

Absorbing one's intelligence within oneself constitutes mental equilibrium, and complete discipline of the senses is self-control.

Tolerance means patiently enduring misfortune, and steadfastness comes when one conquers the tongue and genitals.

The greatest charity is to renounce all aggression toward others, and the renunciation of lust is considered true austerity.

True heroism is to overcome one's natural tendency to enjoy material life, and reality is to see the Supreme Personality everywhere.

Truthfulness means speaking the truth in a pleasing manner, as the great sages have declared.

Cleanliness is detachment in fruitful activities, while renunciation is the hermit's order of life.

The true wealth desirable for human beings is religiosity, and I, the Supreme Person, am a sacrifice.

Religious remuneration is devotion to the perfect spiritual master, for the purpose of acquiring spiritual instruction, and the greatest strength is the system of breath control.

True opulence is my own nature as a Divine Person, through which I exhibit the six unlimited opulences [beauty, wealth, fame, power, wisdom, renunciation].

The supreme gain in life is devotional service to me, and true education nullifies the false perception of the soul's duality.

True modesty is being disgusted with inappropriate activities, and beauty is possessing good qualities, such as detachment.

True happiness is transcending material happiness and unhappiness, and true misery is being involved in the pursuit of sexual pleasure.
