Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-10 Vibhūti Yogaḥ

Thus, after teaching the method of annihilating all negativity impeding the rise of Bhakti, by contemplation on His essential nature, and also affirming the development of devotion by the destruction of such opposing factors, Sri Krishna now explains the way in which Bhakti develops by contemplation on His sovereign power and boundless positive attributes: — buddhir-jñānam asammohaḥ kṣamā satyaṃ damaḥ śamaḥ | sukhaṃ duḥkhaṃ bhavo’bhāvo bhayaṃ cābhyam-eva ca || 4 || 4. Intelligence, knowledge, non-delusion, forbearance, truth, restraint, self-control, pleasure and pain, exaltation and depression, fear and fearlessness; ahiṃsā samatā tuṣṭis-tapo dānaṃ yaśo’yaśaḥ | bhavanti bhāvā bhūtānāṃ matta eva pṛthag-vidhāḥ || 5 || 5. Non-violence, equanimity, cheerfulness, austerity, beneficence, fame and infamy — these different [psychological] qualities arise from Me alone.
