Befriend virtuous men. Have faith and devotion in God. Fill your mind with peaceful thoughts. Stop doing anything that would require applying force (on others). Follow wise men every day. Serve them with humility. Listen to the recitals of Veda from them. Try to understand the meaning of the word - Brahma (the creator).
