Verse 28

²²There he should learn the dharma of the Lord's own, taking the teacher for his self and his god, following him with no pretence: the dharma by which Hari, the self who gives the self, is pleased. ²³First, no clinging of the mind to anything at all, and clinging to the good; and pity, friendship and courtesy toward living beings, given straight out, as each deserves. ²⁴Cleanness, austerity, patience, silence, the study of what he has learned, straightness, chastity, doing no harm, and evenness toward the things that come in pairs. ²⁵Looking everywhere for the Lord who is the self; aloneness; keeping no house; wearing rags kept apart from others; being content with whatever comes.

²⁶Trust in the teaching of the Bhagavan, and no fault-finding with any other; a curb on mind and speech and act; truth; the stilling of the mind and the holding of the senses. ²⁷Hearing, praising aloud and meditating on Hari, whose deeds are wonderful, and on his births and works and qualities, and every effort made for his sake. ²⁸Whatever has been offered and given, whatever austerity done and prayer muttered, his conduct and what he holds dear, his wife, his sons, his house and his breath: the laying of all this before the highest.
