Translations
He whom the world does not agitate, and who cannot be agitated by the world, and who is freed from joy, anger, fear, and anxiety—he is dear to Me.
He who does not harm the world, and whom the world cannot harm, who is not carried away by any impulse of joy, anger, or fear; such a one is My beloved.
He, too, owing to whom the world is not disturbed, and who is not disturbed by the world, who is free from joy, impatience, fear, and anxiety, is dear to me.
जिससे किसी प्राणीको उद्वेग नहीं होता और जिसको खुद भी किसी प्राणीसे उद्वेग नहीं होता तथा जो हर्ष, अमर्ष (ईर्ष्या), भय और उद्वेगसे रहित है, वह मुझे प्रिय है।Commentary
Harsha Joy, exhilaration of the mind when one obtains an object of desire. This is indicated by hair standing on end, tears flowing down the face, etc. Amarsha Anger. Some say that it is a mixture of jealousy and anger. Udvega Anxiety, worry, sorrow, discomfiture. The knower of Brahman or the devotee of the Lord never injures any creature in thought, word and deed. He gives security of life to all creatures. Therefore, no creature is afraid of him. The sage feels that the world is his body, his own Self.
How can he be afraid of the world then He never hurts others and is not hurt by the words or deeds of others. The mental modifications of joy, envy, fear and anxiety leave the sage or devotee of their own accord, just as the beasts and birds leave the forest when it is on fire. Such a sage or devotee is dear to Me. How can I describe him
