While receiving God-Knowledge, a seeker pledges to follow five principles given as: 1. One should consider all one's worldly assets - physical, mental and material as ultimately belonging to God and one may utilized them as a trustee and should not be proud of these possessions. 2. One should not feel proud of one's religion, caste, colour and creed as also the status (Ashram); one should love every one as a fellow human being. 3. One should not hate or criticize others on account of their diet and dress which may be different from his or her own. 4. One must not leave one's hearth and home, become recluse or ascetic and be a burden on others; one must earn one's own livelihood through honest hard work and fulfil one's responsibilities as a family person. 5. One must not divulge to others the divine knowledge as revealed by the True Master, without a word from him. This will save him or her from the pride of being in possession of God-Knowledge.

(π) "PI" (A unique number)

The Greek letter 'pi' (π) is a unique number and is defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. This number is independent of the size of a circle and for all practical purposes its approximate value is taken as 22/7 or 3.1416. In fact, the fraction 22/7 is slightly greater in value than 'pi'.

For many centuries mathematicians have been fascinated by it's unique characteristic. The strangest thing about this number is that nobody has been able to calculate its exact value. Computer scientists have now computed pi to over one million decimal places. At one time the scientists tried to prove that 'pi' was a fraction. When any fraction is written in decimal number, the same digits always appear over and over again in a special pattern. If 'pi' were a fraction, there would be a repeating pattern in 'pi' could not be found. Finally in 1761, a Swiss Mathematician named Johann Herrich Lambert settled the matter. He proved that pi is not a fraction.
The mathematicians are still engaged in research in this direction to see if the digits are arranged in any special way.
