Summary.

The person who is never inclined to material happiness, hatred, affliction and ambition, detached from all favorable or harmful activities of the universe of matter and fully dedicated to the consciousness of God, is very dear to Krishna. The devotee who shows himself equal to the so-called friends and enemies of this world, and neither heat nor cold disturbs whatever attachment to the body, who feels no attachment and remains even-tempered, whether we respect him or insult him, who always remains serious, satisfied in all circumstances, without a fixed residence but always established in the consciousness of Krishna, he is infinitely dear to the Lord.

Even without being established in such a transcendental position, the mere fact of endorsing such transcendence will make us very dear to Krishna.

Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, teaches us the most auspicious way to overcome death.

The Lord says: My dear children, of all the beings who have put on material bodies in this world, those to whom a human form has been granted should not toil day and night for the pleasure of the senses alone, accessible even to dogs and pigs that feed on feces. Instead, they should practice penance and austerity to reach the divine level of devotional service. Thanks to this practice, the heart is purified and we discover an eternal existence full of bliss, which transcends material happiness and lasts forever.

He who knows the absolute of My coming and My acts will no longer have to be reborn in the material universe, leaving his body, he will enter My eternal kingdom. Men who desire to rekindle their awareness of God and increase their love for Me, love to do nothing unrelated to My Person.

When the influence of ignorance covers the separate soul [the individual and distinct soul of God], it cannot know the nature of the infinitesimal being or that of the Supreme Being, and its mind is then occupied by the action concerned. Consequently, unless she develops her love for the Lord, who is none other than myself, she is certainly not freed from the successive transmigrations [of repeated reincarnations]. Even if he is very wise and learned, it is said that a man is suffering from madness if he does not understand that the efforts made to satisfy his senses are only a waste of time.
