सर्वसाम्यमनायासं सत्यवाक्यं च भारत।
निर्वेदश्चाविधित्सा च यस्य स्यात् स सुखी नरः॥
महाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि॥
sarvasāmyamanāyāsaṁ satyavākyaṁ ca bhārata|
nirvedaścāvidhitsā ca yasya syāt sa sukhī naraḥ||
mahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi||
Bheeshmapitamaha tells Yudhistira
Oh worthy son of the Bharata race
A person
Who has the capacity to treat all people around him as equals and to accord respect to them that way
Who would, by nature would be satisfied with applying physical exertions only to the extent they would yield optimal results, one who would not fritter away his energies on useless work
Who has made it a habit only to speak truthful words
Who is indifferent to desires and cravings which are not realistic
Who is not overly ambitious and who is not intolerant about the welfare of others
Would ever remain happy, and would live happily for ever.

Word meaning

भारत oh Scion of the Bharata race सर्वसाम्यं capacity to see equality in all, capacity to treat all people around with equal respect अनायासं maturity and capability to remain in action with minimum or optimal exertions, using energy only where there would be results सत्यवाक्यं habitually speaking truth निर्वेदं equanimity in having desires, sense of balance अविधित्सा abasence of excessive ambition च too यस्य for whom स्यात् is there सः that नरः man सुखी in blissful comfort भवति remains.
