THE MARKS OF A VIRTUOUS MAN

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on May 27, 2012 at 7:00pm
Who is good and virtuous? One who is devoted to the well-being of all, who can give his all and sacrifice his very life for others, who is endowed with great courage, who follows all the duties as laid down in the scriptures, who is ever ready to work for the welfare of others, is really a virtuous man.
Such a promoter of virtue cannot be seduced from the path of virtue. He is free from lust and anger. He is unattached to worldly objects. Gain and loss, happiness and misery, life and death, the agreeable and the disagreeable-all these are held in equal estimation by that man of firm mind engaged in acquiring divine knowledge. A positive attempt has to be made to cultivate all divine virtues.
