Question

can any one elucidate on the above sentence in about 40 words

Not sure where that one came from (!) but cultivated virtue is neither of your answers. It is a positive assertion of the self in that it is the ego's method of proving it is worthy of being a human in human company.

Answer 3

Wrong. Self is plain Truth and virtue whether cultivated or not is connected with the mind.Self asserts nothing, as it is plainly Truth.It is the mind which thinks and causes the body to act in a particular manner.
