Qualification of a brahmana

[Guest guest]

One cannot find much lust or anger in the nature of a brahmana. For this

reason, a brahmana does not indulge in unrestricted sense gratification but

instead, takes pleasure in discussing devotional literature. Purity,

steadiness due to an absence of dissatisfaction, tolerance, simplicity,

inclination toward the Lord’s service, compassion for all living entities,

and truthfulness—these eight characteristics are to be found in brahmanas.

(Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada)
