Keep your own house and its surroundings pure and clean. This hygiene will keep you healthy and benefit your worldly life.

Spend a few minutes every morning and evening in the Silence of your own shrine or home, spend them with the highest of all the Powers that you know of.

So one has to be ever vigilant and should never slacken.
