Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 12, Verse 15

Bhakti Yoga

यस्मान्नोद्विजते लोको लोकान्नोद्विजते च यः । हर्षामर्षभयोद्वेगैर्मुक्तो यः स च मे प्रियः ॥ १५ ॥

yasmān nodvijate loko lokān nodvijate cha yaḥ harṣhāmarṣha-bhayodvegair mukto yaḥ sa cha me priyaḥ

Translation

One by whom the world is not disturbed, and who is not disturbed by the world, who is free from elation, envy, fear and anxiety: that one is dear to Me.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

जिससे कोई प्राणी उद्विग्न नहीं होता और जो स्वयं किसी से उद्विग्न नहीं होता, तथा जो हर्ष, अमर्ष (ईर्ष्या), भय और उद्वेग से मुक्त है, वह मुझे प्रिय है।

Commentary

This is a beautifully balanced line. The devotee does not disturb others and is not disturbed by them. Being easy to live with and hard to upset go together. Amarsha is often translated as envy or intolerance: resentment at another's good fortune.
