Yah na hrushyati na dveshti na shochati na kankshati I
Shubha ashubha parityagi bhaktiman yah sah me priyah II
यः सः हृष्यति न द्वेष्टि न शोचति न काङ्क्षति I
शुभ अशुभ परित्यागी भक्तिमान यः सः मे प्रियः II श्लोक 17
He who neither rejoices nor hates nor grieves nor desires, renouncing good and evil, full of devotion, he is dear to Me.
The worldly people rejoice obtaining things pleasing to teh senses; but the lover of god does not behave as they do. They hate them who created unwanted situations; but the devotees pay no heed to bad people and unpleasant situations. He does not grieve when he is deprived of worldly possessions nor does he desire to procure them for his personal enjoyment. His intense devotion to the Lord admits no other desire to his heart. He is free from the notions of good and evil, even as an innocent baby is. A devotee with these excellences is endearing to the Lord
Gods presence can not be felt in that heart which is given to attachment, aversion and fear
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
