The 10 Great Hindu Observances

I came across the following... And it got me thinking, that the more of these which we can attain, the more content we as an individual shall become. How many can you say you have attained?

1 Patience, firmness and stability (Dhruti)

2 Forgiveness (Kshama)

3 Self-control and contentment (Dama)

4 Not to steal or conceal, or be selfish (Asteya)

5 Cleanliness, purity and honesty (Saucham)

6 Control over senses and sexual energy (Indriya Nigraha)

7 Right knowledge of the scripture (Dhee)

8 Material and spiritual knowledge or study (Vidya)

9 Truth (Satya)

10 Absence of anger (Akrodha)
