Title: Bhagavad Gita: the path that leads to heavenly birth.
Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Dec 06, 2013 07:11 am
Uprightness, heed to injure naught which lives,
Truthfulness, slowness unto wrath,
...a mind that lightly letteth go what others prize;
and equanitmity, and charity
Which spieth no man’s faults;
and tenderness towards all that suffer;
a contented heart, fluttered by no desires;
a bearing mild, modest and grave,
with manhood nobly mixed,
with patience, fortitude, and purity;
An unrevengeful spirit,
never given to rate itself too high—
such be the signs, O Indian Prince!
Of him whose feet are set on that fair path
which leads to heavenly birth!‘

The Song Celestial’ (Bhagavad Gita)
