Spiritual Decorum, Rules, and Limits
(You can find the Spiritual Lifestyle articles listed on the right hand side of this page. Click here to go to Spiritual Lifestyle Home.)
Here is the list of Rules & Limits that one is supposed to follow in his personal life, as told by the Incorporeal Lord Shiva. These rules are similar to the 'Lakshman Rekha' that one is not supposed to cross to live a healthy, wealthy, happy, content, and blissful life now and in the future. They are laid down by God Himself, and not by any human being.
These are the best practices and recommendations. It is every soul's choice whether or not to follow, what all to follow, and to what extent to follow them. The more one follows these rules, the more benefit they bring to the soul. Though necessary, they are not compulsory for anyone.
[Note: A Brahmin is a Brahma Kumar/Kumari who is born through the mouth of Brahma Baba. This does not refer to any specific religion.]
