Educational Q&A

True nobility is shown by steadiness of mind—remaining equal in pleasure and pain—and by conduct grounded in inner virtue (sattva), which even the gods recognize as exceptional.

Bhishma describes Indra observing a remarkably noble being whose extraordinary behavior and equanimity in happiness and sorrow cause Indra to feel wonder and admiration.
