Treasures of the godly (Hinduism)

Chapter XVI of the Bhagavad Gita lists the 26 characteristics of the divine nature, the treasures of the godly said to lead to liberation. These are: overcoming fear; purity of heart; steadfastness in knowledge and yoga; readiness to give totally without claim; rising above the senses; sacrifice and service; enquiring deeply into the self; austerity; uprightness; abstaining from violence; truthfulness; controlling anger; renouncing the things of this world; peacefulness; refraining from criticism; compassion for all beings; overcoming desires; gentleness; modesty; control of agitation and unnecessary activity; illumination; forbearance; purity and cleanliness; controlling malice and hatred; absence of self esteem. These are contrasted with demonic or ungodly tendencies: lack of knowledge of what should or should not be done; lack of purity; lack of truth; lack of understanding both of the scriptures and of the universe itself.
