Comment:

 

The six passions are those pertaining to words, the mind, anger, the tongue, the stomach and the genitals.

The six faults are overeating, attachment to material things, inability to follow regulative principles, sense gratification, useless idle talk, and impure habits.

The six positive qualities are enthusiasm in practicing devotional service, firm faith in devotional processes, a strong desire to attain prema-bhakti, a favorable service attitude, striving for good association, and appreciation of the company of devotees.

The six methods of association are to go to an assembly of devotees, to invite devotees into one's home, to discuss and hear devotional topics, to take the maha-prasada of devotees and to offer maha-prasada to devotees.

 

S'rīla Rūpa Gosvāmī states in his Upades'āmrita (4),

dadāti pratigrihnāti
guhyam ākhyāti pricchati
bhunkte bhojayate caiva
shad-vidham prīti-lakshanam

'Offering gifts in charity, accepting charitable gifts, revealing one's mind in confidence, inquiring confidentially, accepting prasādam and offering prasādam are the six symptoms of love shared by one devotee and another.'
