All sinful men are of this nature. Now hear about the virtuous man. He discerns evils by means of his spiritual sight. He is able to discriminate between happiness and misery. He is full of respectful attention to men of virtue; and by practising virtues, his mind becomes inclined to virtue.
पापात्मा भवति ह्येवं धर्मलाभं तु मे तु में शृणु। यस्त्वेतान् प्रज्ञया दोषान् पूर्वमेवानुपश्यति॥ कुशलः सुखदुःखेषु साधूंश्चाप्युपसेवते। तस्य साधुसमारम्भाद् बुद्धिर्धर्मेषु राजते॥
