The answer came to him in a vision that he recorded in his book Spiritual Exercises. According to Loyola , salvation could be achieved by self-discipline and by doing good deeds. Loyla convinced six fellow students at the UNiversity of Paris to take religious vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience to the pope and to follow him.
