Virtue

Forgiveness is a virtue, forgiveness is a sacrifice, forgiveness is the Vedas, forgiveness is the Shruti.

Everything is indeed Brahman, as declared in the Upanishads. May I never deny Brahman. May Brahman never deny me. May there never be any denial from my side. May all the virtues mentioned in the Upanishads be mine, I who am devoted to the Self.

Brahman is beyond knowledge and ignorance, virtue and vice, merit and demerit, cleanliness and uncleanliness.

A doer who is free of attachment, who speaks not of 'I,' endowed with steadiness and vigour, unchanged by success or failure — such a doer is called sattvic.

Valour, vigour, steadfastness, skill, and never fleeing from battle, generosity, and a natural air of lordship — these are the inherent duties of a kshatriya.

Tranquility, self-restraint, austerity, purity, forbearance, uprightness, knowledge, direct understanding, and faith in the divine — these are the naturally born duties of a brahmana.

The word 'Sat' is used to denote reality and goodness; likewise, O Partha, the word 'Sat' is employed for any praiseworthy action.

One who holds equal vision toward the well-wisher, the friend, the enemy, the indifferent, the neutral, the hateful, the kin, the virtuous, and the sinful — that person stands above all.

There is nothing more worthy of respect by kings than punishment, which shows the path of righteousness.

Forgiveness is a virtue of the weak and an ornament of the strong. Forgiveness conquers all in this world; what is it that forgiveness cannot accomplish?

Non-injuring in thought, word, and deed is the highest of all virtues.

Truth must be observed in thoughts, words, and actions. If you are established in truth, all other virtues will naturally follow.

Whenever righteousness declines, I incarnate myself. I am reborn from time to time to protect the virtuous, destroy evil-doers, and establish righteousness.

Always be truthful, as it encompasses all virtues. Be true to yourself and others in all your actions.

When the seer sees the golden-hued creator, the Lord and source of Brahman, he becomes the knower and sheds sin and virtue, reaching supreme identity, pure and unstained.

Lord Rama is an ocean of countless virtues, and no one can sound His depth. I have only told you the little I have myself heard from the saints.

I possess divine attributes and transcendent virtues. My devotees are always dear to me. Understand this and cultivate unwavering devotion to me in your thoughts, words, and actions.

You are truly blessed, virtuous lady, with a holy idea and a deep love for Lord Rama's feet. Listen to this sacred story, which will end the delusion of the universe, inspire faith in Lord Rama, and help one cross the ocean of worldly existence with ease.

Muttering prayers, practicing austerities, performing religious rituals, doing yoga, fulfilling one's duties, and engaging in various virtuous acts recommended by the Vedas all have the same outcome: they lead to unwavering devotion to the divine.

Those who consider both criticism and praise as equal, and who have dedicated their lives to my feet, are dear to me as my own life. They are the embodiment of noble qualities and bliss.
