He who hates no single being, who is friendly and compassionate to all, who is free from attachment and egoism, to whom pain and pleasure are equal, who is enduring, ever content and balanced in mind, self-controlled, and possessed of firm conviction, whose thought and reason are directed to Me, he who is (thus) devoted to Me is dear to Me.
Read the commentary
He hates nothing, not even that which causes him pain. He regards all beings as himself. He is friendly and compassionate. He is full of compassion for the distressed i.e., he has offered security of life to all beings, he is a samnyasin. He does not regard anything as ‘mine’ and is free from egoism, from the notion of ‘I’. Pain and pleasure do not cause in him hatred and attachment. He remains unaffected when abused or beaten. He is always content; he thinks he has enough whether he obtains or not the means of bodily sustenance. He is also satisfied whether he comes by a good thing or not. He is a yogin, always steadfast in thought. He has a firm conviction regarding the essential nature of the Self. This samnyasin has directed to Me exclusively his Manas—purposes and thoughts—as well as his Buddhi—the faculty of determining. Such a devotee is dear to Me. The same truth which was indicated in vii. 17—‘I am very dear to the wise man and he is dear to Me’—is here described at length.
