Everybody wants a hint for noble living . Gita explains in simple . All the different parameters have been derived from this teaching .

Abhayam sattwasamshuddhih jnaanayogavyavasthitih;
Daanam damashcha yajnashcha swaadhyaayastapa aarjavam.
Fearlessness, purity of heart, steadfastness in Yoga and knowledge, alms-giving, control
of the senses, sacrifice, study of scriptures, austerity and straightforwardness,
Ahimsaa satyamakrodhas tyaagah shaantirapaishunam;

Harmlessness, truth, absence of anger, renunciation, peacefulness, absence of
crookedness, compassion towards beings, uncovetousness, gentleness, modesty, absence of
fickleness,
Tejah kshamaa dhritih shauchamadroho naatimaanitaa;

Vigour, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, absence of hatred, absence of pride—these belong
to one born in a divine state .
Dambho darpo’bhimaanashcha krodhah paarushyameva cha;
Ajnaanam chaabhijaatasya paartha sampadamaasureem.
Hypocrisy, arrogance, self-conceit, harshness and also anger and ignorance, belong to
one who is born in a demoniacal state .
