Advancement

How can our faith grow from initial interest to full conviction

Initial faith (Sraddha),

Association with pure devotees (Sadhu Sanga),

Performance of regulated devotional practices (Bhajana Kriya),

Freedom from material attachment (Anartha Nivritti) ,

Steadiness in self-realization (Nista),

A taste for Krsna Conscious activities (Ruchi),

Deepening attachment to Krsna (asakti),

Spiritual ecstasy (bhava), and

Finally prema (prema),

the highest perfection in love of God.
