अद्वेष्टा सर्वभूतानां मैत्रः करुण एव च | निर्ममो निरहंकारः समदुःखसुखः क्षमी ||१३||
adveṣhṭā sarva-bhūtānāṁ maitraḥ karuṇa eva cha nirmamo nirahaṅkāraḥ sama-duḥkha-sukhaḥ kṣhamī
那对一切众生无恶意,友善且慈悲,无占有欲,无我慢,苦乐平等,且宽恕的人——
One who is free from malice toward all beings, who is friendly and compassionate, free from possessiveness and ego, equal in joy and sorrow, and forgiving —
奎师那在此描述了理想奉献者的品格,而非仪式或知识。这些品质包括:无憎恨、友善、慈悲、无占有欲、无我慢、苦乐平等以及宽恕。这或许是《薄伽梵歌》中对灵性成熟最实际的定义。
Krishna describes the ideal devotee not in terms of rituals or knowledge, but character. Six qualities: no hatred, friendliness, compassion, no possessiveness, no ego, equanimity, and forgiveness. This is perhaps the most practical definition of spiritual maturity in the Gita.
