These are the beautiful qualities that those who wish to enter the spiritual world must acquire.
Beautiful souls who wish to enter the spiritual world must demonstrate:
Kindness; they do not quarrel with anyone.
They accept Krishna consciousness, also called God consciousness, as the highest goal of existence.
They are equal to all beings without exception.
No one can reproach them for the slightest character flaw.
They are magnanimous, gentle, and always pure, inside and out.
They possess nothing in this world.
They are kind to all beings without exception: human beings, terrestrial and aquatic animals, and plants, from the blade of grass to the large tree.
They are very peaceful, and completely surrendered to Krishna.
They have no material desires to fulfill.
They are humble and submissive, constant, and master their sensory activities. They eat no more than is necessary to keep their bodies healthy. They never foolishly attach themselves to any material identity. They show respect to all living beings and demand no respect for themselves. They are very serious, very compassionate, and friendly. They are poets. They are skillful in everything and do not talk nonsense. They show tolerance and kindness to all beings. They are impartial and extend their kindness to humans, animals, and plants alike. They harm no one, no human being, no land or aquatic animal, and no plant. They show kindness to all living beings, humans, animals, and plants, for they have no enemies.
What do sense pleasures do to those who indulge in them?
But the truth is that he remains a servant of what the senses dictate—lust, greed, anger, avarice, pride, madness, and intolerance. But if he regains his senses, with spiritual knowledge through which he realizes that he is not the master of the material universe, but rather the servant of his senses, then he implores the Lord to engage him in His service, and thereby finds, free from the illusion created by so-called material pleasures, true happiness.
