7.1: Important Points About Etiquette

• Etiquette means external manners and conduct.
• Etiquette helps us become free from our original envy and desire to be enjoyers and controllers.
• A faultless etiquette increases ones fame, wealth, longevity, and destroys everything inauspicious.
• Proper Vaisnava etiquette purifies the heart and consciousness.
• Etiquette is the ornament of the Vaisnava.
• Practicing etiquette is action in the mode of goodness.
• A devotee's advancement can be seen by how humble he is, how well he behaves, and how disciplined and cultivated he is.
