Tada—at that time, Rajas—the mode of passion, Tamo—the mode of ignorance, Kama—lust and desire, Lova—hankering, adayas—others, Cha—and, Ye—whatever they are, Cheta—the mind, Etair—by these, Anabiddham—without being affected, Stitham—being fixed up, Satwe—in the mode of goodness, Prasidati—thus becomes fully satisfied.

A living being in his normal constitutional position is fully satisfied in spiritual bliss. This state of existence is called Brahmabhuta or Atmanand state or the state of self satisfaction. This self satisfaction is not like the satisfaction of the inactive fool. The inactive fool is in the state of foolish ignorance while the self satisfied Atmanandi is transcendent to the material state of existence. This stage of perfection is attained as soon as one is fixed up in the irrevocable devotional service. Devotional service is not inactivity but it is the activity of the soul unalloyed.
#$p#The soul's activity becomes adulterated in contact with matter and as such the diseased activities are expressed in the form of lust, desire, hankerings, inactivity, foolishness and sleep. The effect of devotional service becomes manifest by complete elimination of these effects of passion and ignorance. The devotee is fixed at once in the mode of goodness and he makes further progress to rise up to the position of Vasudeva or the state of unmixed Satwa or Suddha-satwa state. In this Suddha-Satwa state only one can see, eye to eye, Krishna always on account of pure affection for the Lord.
#$p#A devotee is always in the mode of unalloyed goodness and as such no body has any cause of harm from the devotees of the Lord. Whereas the nondevotee class, however, educated they may be is always harmful to one another. A devotee is neither a fool nor passionate. The opposite number namely the harmful, fool and passionate cannot be a devotee of the Lord however one may advertise as a devotee by the outward dress. A devotee is always qualified with all the good qualities of God. Quantitatively such qualifications may be different between the Lord, and His devotees but qualitatively both of them are one and the same.

A living being in his normal constitutional position is fully satisfied in spiritual bliss. This state of existence is called #i#brahma-bhūta#/i# (SB 4.30.20) or #i#ātmā-nandī#/i#, or the state of self-satisfaction. This self-satisfaction is not like the satisfaction of the inactive fool. The inactive fool is in the state of foolish ignorance, whereas the self-satisfied #i#ātmānandī#/i# is transcendental to the material state of existence. This stage of perfection is attained as soon as one is fixed in irrevocable devotional service. Devotional service is not inactivity, but the unalloyed activity of the soul.
#$p#The soul's activity becomes adulterated in contact with matter, and as such the diseased activities are expressed in the form of lust, desire, hankering, inactivity, foolishness and sleep. The effect of devotional service becomes manifest by complete elimination of these effects of passion and ignorance. The devotee is fixed at once in the mode of goodness, and he makes further progress to rise to the position of #i#Vāsudeva#/i#, or the state of unmixed #i#sattva#/i#, or #i#śuddha-sattva#/i#. Only in this #i#śuddha-sattva#/i# state can one always see Kṛṣṇa eye to eye by dint of pure affection for the Lord.
#$p#A devotee is always in the mode of unalloyed goodness; therefore he harms no one. But the nondevotee, however educated he may be, is always harmful. A devotee is neither foolish nor passionate. The harmful, foolish and passionate cannot be devotees of the Lord, however they may advertise themselves as devotees by outward dress. A devotee is always qualified with all the good qualities of God. Quantitatively such qualifications may be different, but qualitatively both the Lord and His devotee are one and the same.
