毀譽平等者,沉默者,隨遇而安者,無家者,心志堅定者,充滿虔誠者,為我所愛。
The person to whom denunciation and praise are the same, who is silent, content with anything, homeless, steady-minded, and full of devotion is dear to Me.
此節描繪了奉獻者超脫世俗評判的境界。他們對讚揚和指責都保持平等心,言語和心靈都保持寧靜。他們隨遇而安,不執著於固定的居所,心志恆常堅定於至高真理,並充滿對主的虔誠,因此為主所深愛。
He is neither elated by praise nor pained by censure. He keeps a balanced state of mind. He has controlled the organ of speech and so he is silent. His mind also is serene and silent as he has controlled the thoughts also. He is ite content with the bare means of bodily sustenance. It is said in the Mahabharata (Santi Parva? Moksha Dharma) Who is dressed in anything? who eats any kind of food? who lies down anywhere? him the gods call a Brahmana or a liberated sage or Jivanmukta.He does not dwell in one place. He has no fixed abode. He is homeless. He regards the world as his dwelling place. His mind is ever fixed on Brahman. (Cf.VII.17IX.29XII.17)
