Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.

In English

Who is indifferent to praise and censure, enjoys silence, is content with every fate, has no fixed abode, is steadfast in mind, and filled with devotion—such a one is My beloved.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

He to whom censure and praise are equal, who is silent, content with anything, homeless, of a steady mind, and full of devotion; that man is dear to me.

Translated by Swami Sivananda
