According to Chapter 19, achieving liberation from the cycle of birth and death requires a combination of ethical conduct and focused devotion. Baba advises that one "should strive to remain righteous and calm at all times." A key behavioral change he insists on is to "give up stinging words" and refrain from piercing anyone to the core with slander. Instead, one should be "always engaged in pure deeds" and keep the mind on one's own duty. Mentally, the prescription is to "Surrender your mind and intellect to me, remember me without end." By looking at him with undivided attention, hearing his stories, and holding no other feeling, a devotee can attain "the consciousness of the heart" and lose all fear, ultimately breaking free from the cycle of rebirth.
