What are the three qualities that form the basis of human character? Bhagawan reminds us so we may lead a human life of completeness.

Embodiments of Love! Every individual who wants to progress in the field of spirituality should develop three virtues – purity, patience and perseverance. He is a blessed person who develops these three virtues, also called the three P’s. Man without character, education without a goal and human race without morality are worthless. The life of an individual bereft of peace is no better than a night without the moon. Listen! Oh valiant sons of Bharat! (Telugu Poem) In fact, a true human being is endowed with these threefold virtues. One who loses these virtues loses humanness. Since man today lacks these three virtues, he is more like an animal than a human being. He has only the form of a human but not the demeanour. Virtues are the life principle of man. Without virtues, he is lifeless. If you want to know the true meaning of humanness, you should first develop human values. Development of human values is, therefore, a must for all.
