Translation

Translation

As a lamp in a windless place does not waver, so the transcendentalist, whose mind is controlled, remains always steady in his meditation on the transcendent Self.

Ligesom en lampe ikke blafrer på et vindstille sted, forbliver transcendentalisten, hvis sind er under kontrol, altid urokkelig i sin meditation på det transcendentale selv.

Purport

A truly Kṛṣṇa conscious person, always absorbed in transcendence, in constant undisturbed meditation on his worshipable Lord, is as steady as a lamp in a windless place.

FORKLARING: En virkelig Kṛṣṇa-bevidst person, der altid er absorberet i transcendensen i konstant, uforstyrret meditation på sin tilbedelsesværdige Herre, er lige så rolig som en lampe på et vindstille sted.
