He who is alike to foe and friend, who is balanced in pleasure and pain, heat and cold, honour and dishonour, censure and praise, who is without attachment and egoism, who is ever content and harmonious, who is compassionate, who does not hate any creature, is a devotee of God-realisation. He has crossed the three qualities."
- Holy Master Swami Sivananda
(From "Chapter: Adhyatma Yoga; Amrit Gita")
