During TretaYuga, when Narada asked Shri Ramachan¬dra about the nature and characteristics of His Dasas and of the Sadhakas or spiritual aspirants, He answered as below: Shri Ramachandra answered to Narada the characteristics of His Dasas and of the sadhakas or spiritual aspirants. ‘Men who are my Dasas are full of love; they always stand by Dharma or Righteousness; they speak the Truth; their hearts melt with mercy; they are devoid of the wrong; they avoid sin; their nature is well founded; they will renounce everything gladly; they eat in moderation; they are engaged in doing good to others; they have no selfishness; they are worried by no doubts; they will not lend their ears to flattery. They have beautiful, strong, holy character. Sadhakas are those who endeavour to acquire such qualities and possess such a character. (Prema Vahini, pp. 51-52)
