Translation

Selline inimene, kes suhtub võrdselt nii sõpradesse kui ka vaenlastesse, kes ei kaota tasakaalu ei austuse ega teotuse korral, kes ei lase end häirida kuumusest ja külmast, õnnest ja kurbusest, kuulsusest ja häbistatusest, kes on vaba igasugustest saastavatest suhetest, on alati vaikne ja rahul kõigega, kes on valmis loobuma ka oma elupaigast, kes on kinnistunud teadmistes ning kes on rakendanud end Minu pühendunud teenimisse, on Mulle väga kallis.

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.

Purport

Pühendunu on alati vaba halbatoovatest suhetest. Vahel inimest kiidetakse, vahel laidetakse – selline on juba inimühiskonna loomus. Kuid pühendunu jääb alati transtsendentaalseks nii kunstliku kuulsuse kui ka häbistatuse, nii õnne kui ka hädade suhtes. Ta on väga kannatlik. Ta ei räägi ühelgi teisel teemal peale Kṛṣṇa ning seepärast nimetatakse teda vaikseks. Vaikne ei tähenda, et inimene ei räägi, vaikne tähendab, et inimene ei räägi lollusi. Kõneleda tuleb üksnes olulistel teemadel, ning olulisim teema pühendunu jaoks on Kõigekõrgem Jumal. Pühendunu on õnnelik kõikides tingimustes. Vahel võib talle osaks saada suurepärane toiduportsjon, vahel mitte, kuid sellest hoolimata on ta rahul. Ta ei vaeva pead ka oma elupaiga pärast. Vahel võib ta elada mõne puu all, vahel mõnes paleetaolises uhkes hoones, kuid ta ei tunne kiindumust kummagi suhtes. Teda nimetatakse kindlameelseks, sest ta on kindel oma otsustavuses ja teadmistes. Pühendunu omaduste kirjeldustes võime me leida kordusi, kuid need on mõeldud vaid rõhutamaks, et pühendunu peab need kõik omandama. Selliste heade omadusteta pole võimalik olla puhas pühendunu. Harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇāḥ. „See, kes ei ole pühendunu, ei oma ühtegi head omadust." See, kes tahab, et teda tunnustataks kui pühendunut, peab endas arendama häid omadusi. Loomulikult ei tee ta nende omandamiseks mingeid üleloomulikke jõupingutusi, kuid need omadused arenevad iseenesest, kui ta rakendab end pühendunud teenimisse ning arendab Kṛṣṇa teadvust.

A devotee is always free from all bad association. Sometimes one is praised and sometimes one is defamed; that is the nature of human society. But a devotee is always transcendental to artificial fame and infamy, distress or happiness. He is very patient. He does not speak of anything but the topics about Kṛṣṇa; therefore he is called silent. Silent does not mean that one should not speak; silent means that one should not speak nonsense. One should speak only of essentials, and the most essential speech for the devotee is to speak for the sake of the Supreme Lord. A devotee is happy in all conditions; sometimes he may get very palatable foodstuffs, sometimes not, but he is satisfied. Nor does he care for any residential facility. He may sometimes live underneath a tree, and he may sometimes live in a very palatial building; he is attracted to neither. He is called fixed because he is fixed in his determination and knowledge. We may find some repetition in the descriptions of the qualifications of a devotee, but this is just to emphasize the fact that a devotee must acquire all these qualifications. Without good qualifications, one cannot be a pure devotee. Harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇāḥ: one who is not a devotee has no good qualification. One who wants to be recognized as a devotee should develop the good qualifications. Of course he does not extraneously endeavor to acquire these qualifications, but engagement in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and devotional service automatically helps him develop them.
