Study the Vedas daily.
Perform diligently the duties (karmas) ordained by them.
Dedicate all those actions (karmas) as worship unto the Lord.
Renounce all desires in the mind.
Wash away the hoards of sins in the bosom.
Recognise that the pleasures of sense-objects (samsar) are riddled with pain.
Seek the Self with consistent endeavour.
Escape from the bondage of ‘home’.

Translation by Sri Bharathi Tirtha Mahaswami
Study the scriptures (Vedas and Upanishads) always. Perform well the duties enjoined in them.
By that let God be worshipped. Take your mind off the actions for material prosperity.
Strive against the call of sins. Consider worldly happiness as leading to sorrow.
Develop love for your own Self. Get out of (attachment to) your home as quickly as possible.
