A pure devotee is never disturbed in any circumstances. Nor is he envious of anyone. Nor does a devotee become his enemy's enemy; he thinks that one is acting as his enemy due to his own past misdeeds. Thus it is better to suffer than to protest. In the #i#Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam#/i# it is stated: #i#tat te 'nukampāṁ su-samīkṣyamaṇo#/i#. Whenever a devotee is in distress or has fallen into difficulty, he thinks that it is the Lord's mercy upon him. He thinks: "Thanks to my past misdeeds I should suffer far, far greater than I am suffering now. So it is by the mercy of the Supreme Lord that I am not getting all the punishment I am due. I am just getting a little, by the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead." Therefore he is always calm, quiet and patient, despite many distressful conditions. A devotee is also always kind to everyone, even to his enemy. #i#Nirmama#/i# means that a devotee does not attach much importance to the peace and trouble pertaining to the body because he knows perfectly well that he is not the material body. He does not identify with the body; therefore he is freed from the conception of false ego and is equiposed both in happiness and distress. He is tolerant, and he is satisfied with whatever comes by the grace of the Supreme Lord. He does not endeavor much to achieve something with great difficulty; therefore he is always joyful. He is a completely perfect mystic because he is fixed in the instructions received from the spiritual master, and because his senses are controlled, he is determined. He is not swayed by false argument because no one can lead him from the fixed determination of devotional service. He is fully conscious that Kṛṣṇa is the eternal Lord, so no one can disturb him. All his qualifications enable him to depend entirely on the Supreme Lord. Such a standard of devotional service is undoubtably very rare, but a devotee becomes situated in that stage by following the regulative principles of devotional service. Furthermore, the Lord says that such a devotee is very dear to Him, for the Lord is always pleased with all his activities in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness. #/p# #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXTS_13-14"#TEXTS 13-14#/span##/h4# #div class="devanagari"# #dl##dd#अद्वेष्टा सर्वभूतानां मैत्रः करुण एव च ।#/dd# #dd#निर्ममो निरहङ्कारः समदुःखसुखः क्षमी ॥१३॥#/dd# #dd#सन्तुष्टः सततं योगी यतात्मा दृढनिश्चयः ।#/dd# #dd#मय्यर्पितमनोबुद्धिर्यो मद्भक्तः स मे प्रियः ॥१४॥#/dd##/dl# #/div# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#adveṣṭā sarva-bhūtānāṁ#/dd# #dd#maitraḥ karuṇa eva ca#/dd# #dd#nirmamo nirahaṅkāraḥ#/dd# #dd#sama-duḥkha-sukhaḥ kṣamī#/dd##/dl# #dl##dd#santuṣṭaḥ satataṁ yogī#/dd# #dd#yatātmā dṛḍha-niścayaḥ#/dd# #dd#mayy arpita-mano-buddhir#/dd# #dd#yo mad-bhaktaḥ sa me priyaḥ#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #p##i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=adveṣṭā&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#adveṣṭā#/i# — nonenvious;
