Being endowed with a pure intellect, and controlling oneself with fortitude, rejecting the objects – beginning from sound, and eliminating attachment and hatred; 18.51
One who resorts to solitude, eats sparingly, has speech, body and mind under control, to whom meditation and contemplation are ever highest duty and who is possessed of dispassion; 18.52
That person having discarded egotism, force, pride, desire, anger and superfluous possessions, free from the idea of possession and serene is fit for becoming Brahman. 18.53
