TRANSLATION He for whom
no one is put into difficulty and who is not disturbed by anxiety, who
is steady in happiness and distress, is very dear to Me.
PURPORT A few of a devotee's
qualifications are further being described. No one is put into difficulty,
anxiety, fearfulness, or dissatisfaction by such a devotee. Since a devotee
is kind to everyone, he does not act in such a way to put others into anxiety.
At the same time, if others try to put a devotee into anxiety, he is not
disturbed. It is by the grace of the Lord that he is so practiced that
he is not disturbed by any outward disturbance. Actually because a devotee
is always engrossed in Krsna consciousness and engaged in devotional service,
all such material circumstances cannot woo him. Generally a materialistic
person becomes very happy when there is something for his sense gratification
and his body, but when he sees that others have something for their sense
gratification and he hasn't, he is sorry and envious. When he is expecting
some retaliation from an enemy, he is in a state of fear, and when he cannot
successfully execute something he becomes dejected. But a devotee is always
transcendental to all these disturbances; therefore he is very dear to
Krsna.
