यो न हृष्यति न द्वेष्टि न शोचति न काङ्क्षति । शुभाशुभपरित्यागी भक्तिमान्यः स मे प्रियः ॥ १७ ॥
yo na hṛiṣhyati na dveṣhṭi na śhochati na kāṅkṣhati śhubhāśhubha-parityāgī bhaktimān yaḥ sa me priyaḥ
Translation
One who neither rejoices nor hates, neither grieves nor craves, and who has given up both the auspicious and the inauspicious, full of devotion: that one is dear to Me.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
जो न हर्षित होता है, न द्वेष करता है, न शोक करता है, न कामना करता है, और जो शुभ-अशुभ दोनों का त्यागी है, वह भक्तियुक्त पुरुष मुझे प्रिय है।
Commentary
Four pairs of reactions are laid to rest: joy and hatred, grief and craving. "Giving up auspicious and inauspicious" (shubhashubha-parityagi) means no longer acting in order to earn merit or avoid bad results. The devotee's motive has become love itself.
