Yoga Sutra 1.33

Maitri karuna mudina upeksanam sukha dukha punya apunya visayanam bhavanatah cittaprasadanam.

Translation

Mind is purified by cultivating friendliness towards the happy,

compassion towards the miserable,

joy towards the virtuous and indifference towards the wicked.

When we see a person having success in life, wish them continued success.

When we see a person having difficulty in life, wish them compassion.

When we see a person having great virtue and pure, wish them joy.

When we see a person impure and evil, wish them good will.
