TRANSLATION One who neither
grasps pleasure or grief, who neither laments nor desires, and who renounces
both auspicious and inauspicious things, is very dear to Me.
PURPORT A pure devotee
is neither happy nor distressed over material gain and loss, nor is he
very much anxious to get a son or disciple, nor is he distressed by not
getting them. If he loses anything which is very dear to him, he does not
lament. Similarly, if he does not get what he desires, he is not distressed.
He is transcendental in the face of all kinds of auspicious, inauspicious
and sinful activities. He is prepared to accept all kinds of risks for
the satisfaction of the Supreme Lord. Nothing is an impediment in the discharge
of his devotional service. Such a devotee is very dear to Krsna.
