These are the marks of the true Jnana-yogi:
(1) He desires nothing, save to know.
(2) All his senses are under perfect restraint; he suffers everything without murmuring, equally content if his bed be the bare ground under the open sky, or if he is lodged in a king's palace. He shuns no suffering, he stands and bears it -- he has given up all but the Self.
(3) He knows that all but the One is unreal.
(4) He has an intense desire for freedom. With a strong will, he fixes his mind on higher things and so attains to peace.
