Bhagavad-gītā As It Is: Chapter Twelve: Devotional Service

Bg 12.13-14

"One who is not envious but is a kind friend to all living entities,
who does not think himself a proprietor and is free from false ego,
who is equal in both happiness and distress, who is tolerant,
always satisfied, self-controlled, and engaged in devotional service with determination,
his mind and intelligence fixed on Me – such a devotee of Mine is very dear to Me."

nirmamo nirahaṅkāraḥ

santuṣṭaḥ satataṁ yogī
yatātmā dṛḍha-niścayaḥ
mayy arpita-mano-buddhir
yo mad-bhaktaḥ sa me priyaḥ
