SYNONYMS

śamaḥ—equality or neutrality; mat-niṣṭhatā—being fixed in My lotus feet; buddheḥ—of the intelligence; iti—thus; śrī-bhagavat-vacaḥ—words of the Supreme Personality of Godhead; tat-niṣṭhā—attachment or attraction for Him; durghaṭā—very difficult to achieve; buddheḥ—of intelligence; etām—thus; śānta-ratim—attachment on the platform of śānta-rasa; vinā—without.


TRANSLATION

“‘These are the words of the Supreme Personality of Godhead: “When one’s intelligence is fully attached to My lotus feet but one does not render practical service, one has attained the stage called śānta-rati, or śama.” Without śānta-rati, attachment to Kṛṣṇa is very difficult to achieve.’
