A righteous man is he who is pure in thought, word and deed and who observes Yama
and Niyama to the very letter. He ever moves astray for the sake of paltry gains and selfish ends.
He is ever pious, God-fearing, Self-centered and selfless. He has cosmic vision and a broad
outlook. He is equanimous and tolerant towards all. He is a mine of all virtues like charity,
nobility, sincerity, humility, renunciation, serenity, simplicity and so on. No egoism, no lust, no
greed, no crooked-mindedness, no vanity can find a place in him. The righteous man is ever the
object of adoration of all. There will be no enemies to him at all, for he loves all friends and foes
equally.
