________________
Meru like in yoga (penance), guileless like a cow in upayoga (mental working), beyond the desire for worldly things, absorbed in the search only of pure tattva (truth); not a fault-finder but a connoisseur, never come down on adverse enemies, never get happy over favourable friends, and never pine for fame, glory and benefits.
He should be not cruel, but fearless like a lion, never demand alms from anyone, benevolent like the sun never expecting any return even forgetfully, winner of sleep, vanquisher of senses, sadasayi (well-meaning) like a pond, temperate in eating, beneficial and short in speech, desirous of the jewel of consciousness, self-censuring in order to wash away his own faults. Censuring others is a far cry, even his ears should not be eager to hear others' censure as if are deaf! His tongue should be dumb
