See the positive side of everything and everybody.
Do not judge others ; Do not rush to give your opinion on any subject.
Do not engage in unnecessary arguments and insist that your viewpoint is right ; Instill auspicious sense of purpose into others ; Express all pervading generosity in your life ; Develop abundance of living awareness of love ( bhava ).
Remember that you have to transform the human nature ; Keep that in mind and act to overcome it ; Develop detachment to the results your work.
Convince your self that root cause of injustice and unhappiness is within you ; Intensify loving awareness of love and devotion for your Guru ; Develop triune ( like mixing waters of Ganga, Jamuna and Saraswati ) of aspiration, denial ( of undivine ) and surrender to God ; Always be happy and spread happiness.
Experience the twins of divine grace and your effort in life ; Remember God at the beginning, middle and and at the end of all your actions ; Quiet the mind.
Be alert to abolish attachments and hate in you ; If you have spiritual experiences express it in your daily life.
Do not run away from this life ; Accept with your own free will whatever comes your way as a gift from God.
Do not try to compare anybody ; Favorable or adverse circumstances is a myth and delusion created by mind ; Everything is always helpful for spiritual life.
Have passion and excitement to be silent instrument of God.
My two cents ---
In this particular section Pujya Shree Mota explains do's and don'ts for the spiritual life. It sounds like a tall order to follow. At the same time it is very practical. We try to follow as much as we can but fall short to achieve the goal. In the words of Pujya Shree Mota "you need aspiration like a erupting volcano". Then only it is possible to achieve the goal.
Pujya Shree Mota has put lot of emphasis on Naam-Smaran as a safe and very effective tool. It increases bhava towards divine and lights the fire that burns the impurities of mind and cleanses the prana.
Ten minutes of chanting and living awareness of God will go a long way.
