What are the spiritual qualities we absolutely must acquire?

We are in this world to learn how to lead a fulfilling life. We must achieve spiritual fulfillment if we wish to distinguish ourselves from atheistic materialists, whose only concerns are eating well, sleeping well, responding to fear with acts of defense, mating, and developing sensual pleasures.

We must develop and manifest the following thirteen qualities:

1)        Not being carried away by anger.

2)        Not lying.

3)        Knowing how to distribute one's wealth fairly.

4)        Knowing how to forgive.

5)        Only having children with one's lawful wife and being faithful to her.

6)        Not having illicit sexual relations outside of marriage.

7)        Knowing how to keep one's mind pure and one's body perfectly clean.

8)        Show no enmity towards anyone (humans, animals, plants).

9)        Know how to be simple and humble.

10)            Know how to look after the needs of one's servants or subordinates.
