1. Unlearn. Your religion, caste, identity were assigned to you by your family. Do not let these define you as an individual. You are much more than these.
2. Read. Read classics. Read all the religions like academic subjects and see for yourself if they are logical. Read philosophy. Read Nietzsche. Read Kant. Read science. The more you will read the more humble you will become. Reading takes time.
3. Fall in love and then raise yourself out of it. Regard yourself fortunate if your so-called soulmate dumps you. A Breakup can teach you so much that no religion can.
4. Bear the pain and suffering and I would say keep some of it with you all the time.
5. Respect and love your parents. Respect women. Remember your mother is a woman.
6. Empathize or at least try.
8. Have a hobby.
9. Appreciate art.
10. Expect less.
11. Meditate.

Few human creatures would consent to be changed into any of the lower animals for a promise of the fullest allowance of a beast’s pleasures; no intelligent human being would consent to be a fool, no instructed person would be an ignoramus, no person of feeling and conscience would be selfish and base, even though they should be persuaded that the fool, the dunce, or the rascal is better satisfied with his lot than they are with theirs.
