8. The Sages say that there are four prerequisites for realization of the Truth:
(1) viveka - discrimination between the temporary (therefore unreal phenomena) and the permanent (therefore the Reality, i.e., the noumenal);
(2) indifference to the enjoyment of pleasures here or hereafter;
(3) the group of six qualities; and (4) the longing for Liberation.

9–10. The six qualities are sama, dama, uparati, titiksha, samadhana and shraddha. Of these:
‣ sama is control of mind;
‣ dama is control of the senses;
‣ uparati is cessation of activities (relating to caste, creed, family, etc.);
‣ titiksha is control of passions, and includes endurance; 
‣ samadhana is, according to the Sages, the settling down of the mind to reflect on the Truth, as revealed by the scriptures and the Sages;
‣ shraddha denotes faith in the Master and the scriptures;
Such are the meanings of the six terms of this category.
