Translation

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.

See, kes ei kadesta ühtegi elusolendit, vaid suhtub neisse kõigisse sõbralikult, kes ei pea ennast millegi omanikuks ning on vaba valest egost, kes säilitab tasakaalu nii õnnes kui kannatustes, kes on salliv, alati rahuldatud, ennast kontrolliv ning kes on rakendanud end otsustavusega pühendunud teenimisse, olles keskendanud Oma mõistuse ja arukuse Minule – selline pühendunu on Mulle väga kallis.

Purport

Coming again to the point of pure devotional service, the Lord is describing the transcendental qualifications of a pure devotee in these two verses. A pure devotee is never disturbed in any circumstances. Nor is he envious of anyone. Nor does a devotee become his enemy’s enemy; he thinks, “This person is acting as my enemy due to my own past misdeeds. So it is better to suffer than to protest.” In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (10.14.8) it is stated: tat te ’nukampāṁ su-samīkṣamāṇo bhuñjāna evātma-kṛtaṁ vipākam. Whenever a devotee is in distress or has fallen into difficulty, he thinks that it is the Lord’s mercy upon him. He thinks, “Thanks to my past misdeeds I should suffer far, far greater than I am suffering now. So it is by the mercy of the Supreme Lord that I am not getting all the punishment I am due. I am just getting a little, by the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.” Therefore he is always calm, quiet and patient, despite many distressful conditions. A devotee is also always kind to everyone, even to his enemy. Nirmama means that a devotee does not attach much importance to the pains and trouble pertaining to the body because he knows perfectly well that he is not the material body. He does not identify with the body; therefore he is freed from the conception of false ego and is equipoised in happiness and distress. He is tolerant, and he is satisfied with whatever comes by the grace of the Supreme Lord. He does not endeavor much to achieve something with great difficulty; therefore he is always joyful. He is a completely perfect mystic because he is fixed in the instructions received from the spiritual master, and because his senses are controlled he is determined. He is not swayed by false arguments, because no one can lead him from the fixed determination of devotional service. He is fully conscious that Kṛṣṇa is the eternal Lord, so no one can disturb him. All these qualifications enable him to fix his mind and intelligence entirely on the Supreme Lord. Such a standard of devotional service is undoubtedly very rare, but a devotee becomes situated in that stage by following the regulative principles of devotional service. Furthermore, the Lord says that such a devotee is very dear to Him, for the Lord is always pleased with all his activities in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Pöördudes taas puhta pühendunud teenimise teema juurde, kirjeldab Jumal nendes kahes värsis puhta pühendunu transtsendentaalseid omadusi. Puhas pühendunu ei lase end häirida üheski olukorras. Samuti ei kadesta ta kedagi. Samuti ei saa pühendunu oma vaenlase vaenlaseks, vaid ta mõtleb: „See inimene käitub kui minu vaenlane minu varasemate väärtegude tõttu. Seega on parem tema vaenulikkus välja kannatada kui sellele vastu astuda." „Śrīmad-Bhāgavatamis" (10.14.8) öeldakse: tat te 'nukampāṁ susamīkṣamāṇo bhuñjāna evātma-kṛtaṁ vipākam. Alati, kui pühendunu on sattunud raskustesse või kannatab, mõtleb ta, et see kõik on vaid Jumala arm tema suhtes. Tema mõtteviisiks on: „Oma varasemate väärtegude eest peaksin ma kannatama palju, palju rohkem, kui ma tegelikult praegu kannatan. Seega, üksnes Jumala armust ei saa ma nii suurt karistust nagu ma tegelikult olen ära teeninud. Jumala Kõrgeima Isiksuse armust langeb mulle vaid väike osa kannatustest, mille ma olen ära teeninud." Seetõttu on ta alati rahulik, tasane ning kannatlik, ükskõik kui rasketes tingimustes ta ka viibiks. Pühendunu on alati kõigi suhtes lahke, isegi kui tegemist on vaenlasega. Sõna nirmama annab mõista, et pühendunu ei pööra suurt tähelepanu kehast tulenevatele vaevadele ja kannatustele, sest ta teab, et ta ei ole see keha. Ta ei samasta end kehaga ning seetõttu on ta vaba vale ego kontseptsioonist ega kaota tasakaalu ei õnnes ega kannatustes. Ta on salliv ning rahul kõigega, mis talle Kõigekõrgema Jumala armust osaks saab. Ta ei püüdle selle poole, mille saavutamine on seotud suurte raskustega, mistõttu ta on alati rõõmus. Ta on täiuslik müstik, sest ta järgib kindlalt oma vaimse õpetaja juhendusi. Ta on täis otsustavust, sest ta kontrollib oma meeli. Ekslike argumentidega pole võimalik teda tasakaalust välja viia, sest keegi ei suuda teda eksitada tema kindlast otsusest teenida pühendunult Jumalat. Ta on täielikult teadvustanud, et Kṛṣṇa on igavene Jumal, ning seetõttu ei saa miski teda Kṛṣṇa juurest eemale eksitada. Kõik need omadused võimaldavad tal keskendada oma mõistuse ja arukuse täielikult Kõigekõrgemale Jumalale. Sellist pühendunud teenimise taset esineb küll väga harva, kuid järgides pühendunud teenimise reguleerivaid printsiipe, jõuab pühendunu aja jooksul selleni. Jumal ütleb, et selline pühendunu on Talle väga kallis, sest Ta on alati rahul kõigi pühendunu poolt täies Kṛṣṇa teadvuses sooritatud tegudega.
