Cultivating morality, faith, patience, self control, tolerance, forbearance, perseverance, determination, confidence, will power, chastity, positive thinking, courage, fearlessness, flexibility, concentration, forgiveness, truthfulness, straight forwardness, righteousness, loving kindness, humility, equanimity, simplicity, respect, gratitude, thankfulness, appreciation, adjustment, adaptation, cheerfulness, contentment, generosity and selflessness. All these positive qualities will lead us to greater self realization. They are not the qualities of self realization because at the state of self realization, there are no quality, no positive nor negative, no names and no forms.
They are the fundamental practices for purification of the mind, developing firm determination, will power and right conducts, which act as a strong base for advancing in the practice of meditation.
