I know of these .........please read

"Sri Krsnadasa Kaviraja, the author of Caitanya-caritamrta, says that all good qualities become manifest in the body of a Vaisnava and that only by the presence of these good qualities can one distinguish a Vaisnava form a non-Vaisnava(spiritually evolved person ). Krsnadasa Kaviraja lists the twenty-six good qualities of a Vaisnava: "(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 God. (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."

Krsna says in the Gita

Fearlessness; purification of one’s existence; cultivation of spiritual knowledge; charity; self-control; performance of sacrifice; study of the Vedas; austerity; simplicity; nonviolence; truthfulness; freedom from anger; renunciation; tranquillity; aversion to faultfinding; compassion for all living entities; freedom from covetousness; gentleness; modesty; steady determination; vigor; forgiveness; fortitude; cleanliness; and freedom from envy and from the passion for honor—these transcendental qualities, O son of Bharata, belong to godly men endowed with divine nature.

It is very difficult to get the idea of any spiritually evolved person or saint, as they always like to be alone.

If one were to view the spiritual maturity or spiritual level of a person on a scale from 1 to 100% where God is 100%, then the spiritual level of an average person in the world today is 20%. According to the science of Spirituality, one becomes eligible for the title of a Saint when one attains a spiritual level of at least 70%, irrespective of his religion or path of spiritual practice.

Then, what is spiritual level?

As shown in the diagram below, each person is made up of the following.

They are:

The physical body: five senses of touch, taste, sound, smell and sight

The mind consisting of the conscious and sub-conscious mind

The intellect

The subtle ego

The Soul

The first four make up one’s ego or feeling that one is separate from God.

The spiritual level of a person is intrinsically a function of how much of ego or darkness around the Soul has been removed and how much he identifies with the Soul within.

By darkness around the Soul or ego, we mean the tendency of man to identify with the various layers or bodies (shown in the diagram above) that envelops the soul. (This ego is also known as the spiritual ignorance of our true state of existence.)

Initially, even though we may intellectually understand that there is a Soul within us, we cannot perceive it. As we do spiritual practice, this darkness or ego, begins to reduce until we are able to fully identify with the Soul within, at the highest spiritual level.

Therefore, through spiritual practice our spiritual level increases, which is directly related to the extent of dissolution of our ego.

A Saint of the 70% level is at the stage in spiritual evolution where, through spiritual practice, the darkness or ego around the soul has almost completely dissolved. As a result, He identifies His existence with the God within and has access to the absolute knowledge. Depending on Their spiritual level i.e. 70%, 80%, 90% etc., They are able to experience higher and more subtle experiences of God.

For a better understanding of what is the difference between a person at the 20% spiritual level and a Saint at a 70% spiritual level, let us explore how they compare against various attributes.

According to the science of Spirituality, only a person who is a Saint Himself can identify a Saint or say that a seeker of God has reached the level of a Saint i.e. the 70% spiritual level. This is primarily based on the subtle characteristics, rather than any gross characteristics or physical appearances.

The traits of the spiritually evolved person.

" Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge. Be fair in thy judgment, and guarded in thy speech. Be unjust to no man, and show all meekness to all men. Be as a lamp unto them that walk in darkness, a joy to the sorrowful, a sea for the thirsty, a haven for the distressed, an upholder and defender of the victim of oppression. Let integrity and uprightness distinguish all thine acts. Be a home for the stranger, a balm to the suffering, a tower of strength for the fugitive. Be eyes to the blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring. Be an ornament to the countenance of truth, a crown to the brow of fidelity, a pillar of the temple of righteousness, a breath of life to the body of mankind, an ensign of the hosts of justice, a luminary above the horizon of virtue, a dew to the soil of the human heart, an ark on the ocean of knowledge, a sun in the heaven of bounty, a gem on the diadem of wisdom, a shining light in the firmament of thy generation, a fruit upon the tree of humility."

I think almost all great spiritual leaders have a lot in common. An expression of tranquility and peace constantly, the ability to see every situation from the best possible light, and an inspired feeling of peace around them.
This is true for some Popes, Dalai Lama, Taoist Masters. This is not true of most, if any, fundies.

"i substitute into instructed that the Bible isn't made to be traditionally precise, yet spiritually precise.

Many Christians carry that the hot testomony is a lot greater traditionally precise than the previous testomony.
