described beautifully in a song:
Song of 18 ITIES
Serenity, regularity, absence of vanity,
Sincerity, simplicity, veracity,
Equanimity, fixity, non-irritability,
Adaptability, humility, tenacity,
Integrity, nobility, magnanimity,
Charity, generosity, purity.
Practice daily these eighteen 'ities',
You will soon attain immortality.
Brahman is the only real entity,
Mr. So and so is a false non-entity.
You will abide in eternity and infinity;
You will behold unity in diversity;
You cannot attain this in the university.
Madras university, Harvard university.
Or even Oxford university.
But you can attain this in BSY.
Yes you can attain this in BSY.
Yes you can attain this in BSY.
