Qualities which Krishna mentioned in Bhagavad gita, chapter twelve, Bhakti yoga could also be stated.

Verse 12-14
One who is not envious but is a kind friend to all living entities, who does not think himself a proprietor and is free from false ego, who is equal in both happiness and distress, who is tolerant, always satisfied, self-controlled, and engaged in devotional service with determination, his mind and intelligence fixed on Me -- such a devotee of Mine is very dear to Me.

Verse 15
He for whom no one is put into difficulty and who is not disturbed by anyone, who is equipoised in happiness and distress, fear and anxiety, is very dear to Me.

Verse 16
My devotee who is not dependent on the ordinary course of activities, who is pure, expert, without cares, free from all pains, and not striving for some result, is very dear to Me.

Verse 17
One who neither rejoices nor grieves, who neither laments nor desires, and who renounces both auspicious and inauspicious things -- such a devotee is very dear to Me.

Verse 18 -19
One who is equal to friends and enemies, who is equipoised in honor and dishonor, heat and cold, happiness and distress, fame and infamy, who is always free from contaminating association, always silent and satisfied with anything, who doesn't care for any residence, who is fixed in knowledge and who is engaged in devotional service -- such a person is very dear to Me.

Verse 20
Those who follow this imperishable path of devotional service and who completely engage themselves with faith, making Me the supreme goal, are very, very dear to Me.

Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 5: The Creative Impetus Chapter 18: The Prayers Offered to the Lord by the Residents of Jambudvipa, verse 12 also gives the qualities of devotees, the purport mentioning 26 qualities of devotees.

yasyasti bhaktir bhagavaty akincana
sarvair gunais tatra samasate surah
harav abhaktasya kuto mahad-guna
manorathenasati dhavato bahih

TRANSLATION

All the demigods and their exalted qualities, such as religion, knowledge and renunciation, become manifest in the body of one who has developed unalloyed devotion for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vasudeva. On the other hand, a person devoid of devotional service and engaged in material activities has no good qualities. Even if he is adept at the practice of mystic yoga or the honest endeavor of maintaining his family and relatives, he must be driven by his own mental speculations and must engage in the service of the Lord's external energy. How can there be any good qualities in such a man?

PURPORT

As explained in the next verse, Krishna is the original source of all living entities. This is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (15.7), wherein Krishna says:
mamaivamso jiva-loke
jiva-bhutah sanatanah
manah shashthanindriyani
prakriti-sthani karshati
"The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal, fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind." All living entities are part and parcel of Krishna, and therefore when they revive their original Krishna consciousness, they possess all the good qualities of Krishna in a small quantity. When one engages himself in the nine processes of devotional service (sravanam kirtanam vishnoh smaranam pada-sevanam/ arcanam vandanam dasyam sakhyam atma-nivedanam [SB 7.5.23]), one's heart becomes purified, and he immediately understands his relationship with Krishna. He then revives his original quality of Krishna consciousness.

In the Adi-lila of Caitanya-caritamrita, Chapter Eight, there is a description of some of the qualities of devotees. For example, Sri Pandita Haridasa is described as being very well-behaved, tolerant, peaceful, magnanimous and grave. In addition, he spoke very sweetly, his endeavors were very pleasing, he was always patient, he respected everyone, he always worked for everyone's benefit, his mind was free of duplicity, and he was completely devoid of all malicious activities. These are all originally qualities of Krishna, and when one becomes a devotee they automatically become manifest. Sri Krishnadasa Kaviraja, the author of Caitanya-caritamrita, says that all good qualities become manifest in the body of a Vaishnava and that only by the presence of these good qualities can one distinguish a Vaishnava from a non-Vaishnava.

Krishnadasa Kaviraja lists the following twenty-six good qualities of a Vaishnava:
(1) He is very kind to everyone.
(2) He does not make anyone his enemy.
(3) He is truthful. (4) He is equal to everyone.
(5) No one can find any fault in him.
(6) He is magnanimous.
(7) He is mild.
(8) He is always clean.
(9) He is without possessions.
(10) He works for everyone's benefit.
(11) He is very peaceful.
(12) He is always surrendered to Krishna.
(13) He has no material desires.
(14) He is very meek.
(15) He is steady.
(16) He controls his senses.
(17) He does not eat more than required.
(18) He is not influenced by the Lord's illusory energy.
(19) He offers respect to everyone.
(20) He does not desire any respect for himself.
(21) He is very grave.
(22) He is merciful.
(23) He is friendly.
(24) He is poetic.
(25) He is expert.
(26) He is silent.

krishna-bhakta–nishkam,ataeba shanta
bhukti-mukti-sidhi-kami–sakali 'ashanta'

The devotees of Sri Krishna have no mundane desires and are therefore completely peaceful, but those desiring material enjoyment, liberation or the pride of being a spiritualist, are always disturbed.

bhaktya mam abhijanati
yavan yas casmi tatvatah
tato mam tatvato jnanam
vishate tad anantaram

Through the power of pure devotion, one sees everything in relation to me and one can fully understand my divine majesty which culminates in Reality the Beautiful. Then one is admitted into the group of my most intimate servitors, who are non-different then my very self.

Qalities of Krishna Bhaktas-

'anubhava' -- smita, nritya, gitadi udbhasvara
stambhadi -- 'sattvika' anubhavera bhitara

SYNONYMS

anubhava -- subordinate ecstasy; smita -- smiling; nritya -- dancing; gita-adi -- songs and so on; udbhasvara -- symptoms of bodily manifestation; stambha-adi -- being stunned and others; sattvika -- natural; anubhavera bhitara -- within the category of subordinate ecstasies.

TRANSLATION

"The subordinate ecstasies are smiling, dancing and singing, as well as different manifestations in the body. The natural ecstasies, such as being stunned, are considered among the subordinate ecstasies [anubhava].

PURPORT

In the Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu (2.1.14), vibhava is described as follows:

tatra jneya vibhavas tu raty-asvadana-hetavah
te dvidhalambana eke tathaivoddipanah pare

"The cause bringing about the tasting of love for Krishna is called vibhava. Vibhava is divided into two categories -- alambana (support) and uddipana (awakening)."

In the Agni Purana it is stated:

vibhavyate hi raty-adir yatra yena vibhavyate
vibhavo nama sa dvedhalambanoddipanatmakah

"That which causes love for Krishna to appear is called vibhava. That has two divisions -- alambana (in which love appears) and uddipana (by which love appears)."

In the Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu (2.1.16), the following is stated about alambana:

krishnas ca krishna-bhaktas ca budhair alambana matah
raty-ader vishayatvena tathadharatayapi ca

"The object of love is Krishna, and the container of that love is the devotee of Krishna. Learned scholars call them alambana -- the foundations." Similarly, uddipana is described as follows:

uddipanas tu te prokta bhavam uddipayanti ye
te tu sri-krishna-candrasya gunas ceshtah prasadhanam

"Those things which awaken ecstatic love are called uddipana. Mainly this awakening is made possible by the qualities and activities of Krishna, as well as by His mode of decoration and the way His hair is arranged." (B.r.s. 2.1.301) The Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu (2.1.302) also gives the following further examples of uddipana:

smitanga-saurabhe vamsa-sringa-nupura-kambavah
padanka-kshetra-tulasi-bhakta-tad-vasaradayah

"Krishna's smile, the fragrance of His transcendental body, His flute, bugle, ankle bells and conchshell, the marks on His feet, His place of residence, His favorite plant [tulasi], His devotees, and the observance of fasts and vows connected to His devotion all awaken the symptoms of ecstatic love."

The Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu (2.2.1) describes anubhava as follows:

anubhavas tu citta-stha-bhavanam avabodhakah
te bahir vikriya prayah prokta udbhasvarakhyaya

"The many external ecstatic symptoms, or bodily transformations which indicate ecstatic emotions in the mind and which are also called udbhasvara, are the anubhavas, or subordinate ecstatic expressions of love." Some of these symptoms are dancing, falling down and rolling on the ground, singing and crying very loudly, bodily contortions, loud vibrations, yawning, deep breathing, disregard for others, the frothing of saliva, mad laughter, spitting, hiccups and other, similar symptoms. All these symptoms are divided into two divisions -- sita and kshepana. Singing, yawning and so on are called sita. Dancing and bodily contortions are called kshepana.

In his Anubhashya, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura quotes the following verse from the Vedic literature describing udbhasvara:

udbhasante sva-dhamniti prokta udbhasvara budhaih
nivy-uttariya-dhammilla-sramsanam gatra-motanam
jrimbha ghranasya phullatvam nisvasadyas ca te matah

"The ecstatic symptoms manifest in the external body of a person in ecstatic love are called udbhasvara by learned scholars. Some of these are a slackening of the belt and a dropping of clothes and hair. Others are bodily contortions, yawning, a trembling of the front portion of the nostrils, heavy breathing, hiccupping and falling down and rolling on the ground. These are the external manifestations of emotional love." Stambha and other symptoms are described in Madhya-lila 14.167....
