The latter ten items are negative injunctions while the
formermer ten items are positive injunctions.

Out of the twenty items above mentioned the first three
positive items are imperative and most essential for the desiring
candidates.

There are other 44 items to be followed by the desiring
candidates but Lord Chaitanya has selected only five items
which are most important out of them regard being had to the
conditions of the present mode of civic life. They are as
follows :—

1. To associate with the devotes. Association of the
devotees is made possible by hearing them attentively, by
asking them relevant enquiries, by supplying them foodstuff
and by accepting from them food stuff also, by giving them
charities and accepting from them whatsoever they offer.

2. To Chant the holy name of the Lord at all circum-
stances. The chanting of the Lord’s name is an easy job and
the most inexpensive attempt also. One can chant the name
of the Lord out of His innumerable names at any time and try
to make it offence-less. There are ten offences in the method
of such charning of the transcendental Name. And those
offneces must be avoided as far as possible but at all cost the
holy name of the Lord can be chanted without any restriction
at all times.

3. One should hear the transcendental topics enunci-
ated in the Bhagwat. This hearing is made possible through
platform lectures as well as through press propaganda. And
this item includes the other two items as above mentioned.

4. One should make his home at Mathura or the
birth place of the Lord Krishna or make his home as good as
Mathura by installing the Deity of the Lord at home to be
worshipped by all the members of the family after proper
initiation from the spiritual master.
