Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-12 Bhakti Darśana Yogaḥ

Now Sri Krishna enumerates the attributes required of one intending to perform unmotivated work: — adveṣṭā sarva bhūtānāṃ maitraḥ karuṇa eva ca | nir-mamo nir-ahaṅkāraḥ sama duḥkha sukha kṣamī || 13 || 13. Not prejudiced towards any living being, friendly and compassionate to all, free from the notions of ‘I’ and ‘mine’, and regarding all pain and pleasure with equanimity, and forbearing; santuṣṭaḥ satataṃ yogī yatātmā dṛḍha-niścayaḥ | mayyarpita mano buddhiḥ yo mad-bhaktaḥ sa me priyaḥ || 14 || 14. contented, constantly contemplating, self-restrained and firm in one’s convictions, dedicating the mind and intellect to Me — such a devotee is dear to Me.
