5. Attend at least once a month group devotional singing organised by the Centre

By placing the requirement on 'at least once a month', Baba has given the directions for the future, that is, that devotees should not remain at the spiritual level of just singing devotional songs. It is important to build our spiritual development on this foundation. All the other points in the code are the bricks and mortar for us to build the spiritual superstructure of our lives.

In fact the pursuance of devotional singing alone as a principal activity on our spiritual path and ignoring the other equally important practices that Baba has suggested may lead to retarding our spiritual progress. Thus, it is vital that devotees understand the significance of devotional singing and place it in the perspective of their total spiritual practice and carry on moving forward.

Also devotional singing at the centre should not end there - once a month or once a week. The sincere aspirant must constantly be 'tuned in' to the devotional songs, their lips or their minds constantly 'singing' of Divinity, analysing the meaning of the songs and their messages, and using them as a guide, as a beacon of love in their daily lives. When devotional singing is used as such, it will bring about the necessary results, the softening of the heart, the gentleness of speech, the kindness of thoughts, the yearning to serve. If the name and message of God is constantly in the mind, the cleansing effect will most certainly take effect, and aspirants will see their lives, their character and behaviour transformed.
