"Addressing Arjun whose eyes have been cleansed by collyrium of KNOWLEDGE Lord Krishna said, let Me now introduce you to the characteristics of a true KNOWLEDGE. When there is supreme forgiveness or forbearance, specifically the kind that is completely free of anger, malice, or the desire for accusation, it is the indication of the true KNOWLEDGE. The quality of forgiveness flourishes in him just like wealth grows in the household of a rich hearted, or lotus flowers bloom in a lake. Let Me now illustrate to you the characteristics of Kshama. The fondness with which we wear the ornaments, when with equal fondness we endure the hardships patiently. When one holds stoically, maintain inner peace, resilience and detachment despite being subjected to the three tapas, the three types of sufferings Adhyatmic tapa, Adhibhoutik tapa and Adhidaivik tapa. Heartily receives the pleasant as well as the unpleasant. Bear both honour and dishonour equally cultivating equanimity and an internal sense of peace that is not dependent on external validation, praise, or blame. For him ill-speaking and praise, pleasure and pain are same, so are hot and cold. Fears none. Just like the Meru mountain does not feel burdened by its summit, the Varaha avatar (boar incarnation) of Lord Vishnu that lifts earth by its tusks do not find it heavy, or the earth does not feel burdened by holding the Creation, similarly the dualities do not make him miserable. Just like the sea accommodates all river water flowing into it, similarly there is nothing that he can't bear and is unassuming of his endurance. Everything that happens, pleasure, sufferings etc, he treats them as essential form of the soul, the pure eternal divine essence. He endures, but don't boast about it. Such unconditional forgiveness makes the KNOWLEDGE elevate to glory. Such person becomes the very life of KNOWLEDGE. Let Me now illustrate to you Arjav meaning sincerity, honesty, uprightness."
