Narration
Translated
What are the important qualities needed to live in God and be truly devoted? Bhagawan lovingly explains the next three of the five qualities.
The third requisite is discipline. In almost every action in life, the recognised limits and regulations must be observed. This applies equally to the spiritual field. You must observe discipline in matters relating to dress, general behaviour outside the mandir, during bhajans in the mandir, the way you speak and the food you eat! All your actions should be filled with sanctity and purity. Discrimination is the fourth requisite. Discrimination must be observed in every aspect of daily living - in what you see, what you listen to, what you speak and what you consume. Avoid eating all kinds of food in strange places. Last comes determination. Without firm determination, no great thing can be achieved in life. It’s all the more needed in the spiritual field so that you may face all difficulties and obstacles and overcome them. You must hold fast to what you consider as good, what you regard as sacred and what you recognise as the truth. That is real penance!
- Divine Discourse, Feb 17, 1989.

Education should be utilised for developing the power of discrimination between right and wrong, good and evil. - BABA
