“Sadhura Vyavahara”, the behavior of a spiritually advanced soul, establishes the true purpose of spiritual principles; this was the verdict of a 14th century saint, Shri Chaitanya. Srila A. C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad, the founder Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, would often remark, “What is the use of philosophy without good character?”
What are the qualities exhibited by a spiritually advanced person? What is the purpose behind imbibing these qualities? How can we go about imbibing these qualities?
We extract answers to the above question from talks given by Radhanath Swami.

The behaviour of a person is more attractive than what he speaks. So all these devotional qualities are so important for a spiritual seeker.

A true spiritualist is known by his character and not merely by his qualification. In fact, an authorised spiritualist does not make a show of his position and behaves with humility and simplicity. He is not interested in his glorification and whatever glorification he receives from others, he passes all those glories to his spiritual teacher. In vedic scriptures, there are many examples mentioned wherein great spiritualists have shown these important characteristics.
Very nice article by Radhanath Swami.
