TRANSLATION He who is
satisfied with gain which comes of its own accord, who is free from duality
and does not envy, who is steady both in success and failure, is never
entangled, although performing actions.
PURPORT A Krsna conscious
person does not make much endeavor even to maintain his body. He is satisfied
with gains which are obtained of their own accord. He neither begs nor
borrows, but he labors honestly as far as is in his power, and is satisfied
with whatever is obtained by his own honest labor. He is therefore independent
in his livelihood. He does not allow anyone's service to hamper his own
service in Krsna consciousness. However, for the service of the Lord he
can participate in any kind of action without being disturbed by the duality
of the material world. The duality of the material world is felt in terms
of heat and cold, or misery and happiness. A Krsna conscious person is
above duality because he does not hesitate to act in any way for the satisfaction
of Krsna. Therefore he is steady both in success and in failure. These
signs are visible when one is fully in transcendental knowledge.
