We do not have spiritual strength like Krupanand Swami and other great sadhus. So, give up trying to copy the endeavours of the great and observe the eleven codes of conduct.1 By this one can become strong like them. Why? Because in this satsang there is upāsanā, dharma, and everything else. Nothing is left out. Footnotes: 1. 1. The eleven codes of conduct from the Shikshapatri and mentioned by Premanand Swami in the prarthana ‘Nirvikalp Uttam Ati’: (1) Never harm any living being, (2) do not associate with women not closely related to you, (3) do not eat meat, (4) do not drink intoxicating beverages, (5) do not associate with widows, (6) do not commit suicide, (7) do not steal, (8) do not falsely blame anyone, (9) do not insult any deities, (10) do not eat food prepared by inappropriate people, and (11) do not listen to discourses by atheists.
