These are:
1. To live and communicate with saints who are pious in heart and deed.
2. To listen and tell the story and saying of the Lord.
3. To do humble and pride-less service of the lotus feet of one's preceptor (Guru).
4. To sing the Lord's praises with honest heart.
5. To keep chanting the Lord's name with unwavering faith.
6. To practice self-control and virtue, desist from manifold activities and always pursue the course of conduct laid down for the saints.
7. To see the world full of the Lord without distinction and reckon the saints as even greater than the Lord Himself.
8. To remain content with whatever one gets and never think of finding faults with others.
9. To be simple, honest and straight in one's dealing with everybody & cherish implicit faith in Lord without either exultation or depression.
Towards the end of describing above nine forms, Shri Rama further said to Sabri, that anyone who possesses even any one out of the 9 forms of Bhakti (devotion) is very dear to Him.
