क्षान्तो दान्तो विशुद्धात्मा विज्ञेयः श्रद्धयान्वितः ॥ तपःस्वाध्यायशीलश्च एतेषां सात्त्विका गुणाः ॥
kṣānto dānto viśuddhātmā vijñeyaḥ śraddhayānvitaḥ | tapaḥsvādhyāyaśīlaś ca eteṣāṃ sāttvikā guṇāḥ ||
सात्त्विक वाले लोग धैर्य रखते हैं, अपने आप को कंट्रोल में रखते हैं। उनका दिल साफ होता है, विश्वास भी रखते हैं। यह लोग तपस्या करते हैं, पढ़ाई में लगे रहते हैं। यह सब सात्त्विक के गुण हैं।
