While receiving God-knowledge a seeker pledges to follow five principles given below:
- 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.
- One should not feel proud of one's religion, caste, colour and creed as also the status (Ashram); one should love everyone as a fellow human being.
- One should not hate or criticize others on account of their diet or dress which may be different from his or her own.
- 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 fufill one's responsibilities as a family person.
- 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.
If followed systematically, these principles of the Mission serve as a simple, easy and successful means for a balanced and harmonious social life.
