One who understands quickly, listens patiently, pursues one's objectives with considerate planning and not from selfish desires, and who doesn't waste breath discussing the affairs of others without being asked, is said to possess the foremost mark of wisdom.

क्षिप्रं विजानाति चिरं शऋणोति
विज्ञाय चार्थं भजते न कामात् ।
नासम्पृष्टो व्यौपयुङ्क्ते परार्थे
तत्प्रज्ञानं प्रथमं पण्डितस्य ॥
