The Devotee Who is Dear to God

Bhagavad Gita:  “He who hates no being, who is friendly and compassionate to all, who is free from the feeling of ‘I’ and ‘mine’, even-minded in pain and pleasure, and forbearing, ever content, steady in meditation, self-controlled and possessed of firm conviction, with mind and intellect fixed on Me (on God), he/she, my devotee, is dear to Me.”
