Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 12, Verse 14

Bhakti Yoga

सन्तुष्टः सततं योगी यतात्मा दृढनिश्चयः । मय्यर्पितमनोबुद्धिर्यो मद्भक्तः स मे प्रियः ॥ १४ ॥

santuṣhṭaḥ satataṁ yogī yatātmā dṛiḍha-niśhchayaḥ mayy arpita-mano-buddhir yo mad-bhaktaḥ sa me priyaḥ

Translation

ever content, steady in yoga, self-controlled, firm in resolve, with mind and intellect offered to Me: that devotee of Mine is dear to Me.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

जो सदा संतुष्ट है, योग में स्थित है, संयमी है, दृढ़ निश्चय वाला है, और जिसने मन-बुद्धि मुझे अर्पित कर दी है, वह मेरा भक्त मुझे प्रिय है।

Commentary

This verse completes the sentence begun in 13 and ends with the first "sa me priyah" ("that one is dear to Me"). Santushtah satatam, "always content," is the key: not content only when things go well, but steadily at peace. The last quality, mind and intellect offered to God, returns to the instruction of verse 8.
