Bhagavad Gita -Sri Madhvacharya

(Bhashya and Tatparya Nirnaya)

Chapter 12 Bhakti Yoga 13 – 14 – 15 - 16 . He who has no ill-will towards other beings, is friendly and compassionate, free from egoism, self-sense, even minded in pain and pleasure, is patient, who is ever content being equanimous, self-restrained, unshakeable in his determination, with mind and intellect surrendered to Me, such) devotee, is dear to Me. Be for whom the world is not separate, who does not shrink from the world, who is free from joy, anger, fear and agitation, he too is dear to Me. Having no expectations, pure in his objectives, impervious to his actions, beyond any remorse, renouncing actions of all forms, he who is devoted to Me, is dear to Me. Bhashya :- सर्वारम्भपरित्यागी - one who has renounced the performance of all actions, as the attribute common to all and SauBaSauBapir%yaagaI - one who has renounced both the merits and the demerits as the special attribute has been spoken again. Similarly speaking about one being liberated from the pairs of pleasure and pain etc., there appears repetition in the statement he who neither rejoices etc. in the present tense. When a thing is repeatedly spoken it is to emphasize importance of the statements. Therefore to remind the importance, additional practice of devotion is recommended. His entire performance of action becomes entirety of his purpose in life.
