There are 10 Commandments which should be followed strictly if one desires to make progress on the spiritual path. These are:

1. One should never bear malice towards any living being and should express love towards all.

2. One should always speak the truth and never an untruth.

3. One should never commit theft and should always be honest and forthright in one's dealings.

4. One should always practice self-restraint and should never allow oneself to be consumed with lust.

5. One should always be humble and generous and should never become vain or accumulate worldly goods for their own sake.

6. One should always exhibit cleanliness in body, mind and spirit.

7. One should work diligently and with righteousness, neither rejoicing nor despairing in the resulting profit or loss.

8. One should renounce the selfish desires of the ego in the performance of righteous deeds and should keep one's mind unruffled whether in a state of happiness or misery.

9. One should seek out truth, both within and without, in a spirit of attention and contemplation, should teach truth to others, and should associate with good and pious individuals.

10. One should resign oneself entirely unto the Will of God.
