Translation

Parim nendest on see, kes omab täielikke teadmisi ning kes on hõivatud Minu pühendunud teenimisega, sest Mina olen talle väga kallis, ning tema on kallis Minule.

Of these, the one who is in full knowledge and who is always engaged in pure devotional service is the best. For I am very dear to him, and he is dear to Me.

Purport

Vabana kõikide materiaalsete ihade saastast, saavad ahastuses viibijad, uudishimulikud inimesed, rahahädas olijad ja kõrgeimate teadmiste otsijad kõik puhasteks pühendunuteks. Kuid tõeliselt puhtaks pühendunuks saab nendest see, kes omab teadmisi Absoluutsest Tõest ning kes on vaba kõikidest materiaalsetest ihadest. Jumala sõnade kohaselt on nendest neljast kategooriast inimestest parim see, kes omab täielikke teadmisi ning kes on samal ajal hõivatud pühendunud teenimisega. Teadmisi otsides mõistab inimene, et tema tegelik olemus on erinev tema materiaalsest kehast, ning edasi arenedes jõuab ta teadmisteni Brahmanist ja Paramātmāst. Olles täielikult puhastunud, mõistab inimene, et oma algolemuslikult positsioonilt on ta Jumala igavene teener. Seega, suheldes puhaste pühendunutega, saavad uudishimulikud inimesed, ahastuses olijad, materiaalse olukorra paranemise ihaldajad ja erudeeritud isikud ka ise puhasteks. Kuid see, kes, asudes Jumala Kõrgeima Isiksuse pühendunud teenimise juurde, omab Jumalat teenides Temast ka täielikke teadmisi, on Jumalale väga kallis. Inimene, kes omab puhtaid teadmisi Jumala Kõrgeima Isiksuse transtsendentaalsusest, on seeläbi pühendunud teenimises kaitstud igasuguse materiaalse saastumise eest.

Free from all contaminations of material desires, the distressed, the inquisitive, the penniless and the seeker after supreme knowledge can all become pure devotees. But out of them, he who is in knowledge of the Absolute Truth and free from all material desires becomes a really pure devotee of the Lord. And of the four orders, the devotee who is in full knowledge and is at the same time engaged in devotional service is, the Lord says, the best. By searching after knowledge one realizes that his self is different from his material body, and when further advanced he comes to the knowledge of impersonal Brahman and Paramātmā. When one is fully purified, he realizes that his constitutional position is to be the eternal servant of God. So by association with pure devotees the inquisitive, the distressed, the seeker after material amelioration and the man in knowledge all become themselves pure. But in the preparatory stage, the man who is in full knowledge of the Supreme Lord and is at the same time executing devotional service is very dear to the Lord. He who is situated in pure knowledge of the transcendence of the Supreme Personality of God is so protected in devotional service that material contamination cannot touch him.
