to develop one's Krishna consciousness or God consciousness as part of the integral devotional service.
These are some attributes of a person who is conscious of Krishna.
"The devotee, envious of nothing, who behaves with all in benevolent friend, who by no means thinks himself the possessor, who is freed from the false ego and remains the same in joy as in pain, who forgives, who always knows the contentment and commitment with determination in the devotional service, and whose mind and body are left to the Supreme Lord, that one is very dear to me ".
"The devotee who is never the cause of agitation for others and whom joys and sorrows do not affect, which in no way depends on the modes of material action; the pure being, expert in everything, free from all anxiety, freed from suffering, and who does not seek the fruit of his deeds, that one is very dear to me ".
"He who does not seize joy or sorrow, who does not grieve or covet, who renounces the favorable as the unfavorable, that one is very dear to me".
"He who is equal with the friend or the enemy, who remains the same in glory or opprobrium, heat or cold, praise or blame, forever unclean, always silent, satisfied with everything, careless of lodging, and who, established in knowledge, serves Me with love and devotion - that one is very dear to me."
"He who, full of faith, in this imperishable way of devotional service engages whole, making of Me the supreme goal, that one is very dear to me".
The person who is never brought to happiness, hatred, affliction and material ambition, detached from any favorable or harmful activity of the universe of matter and fully dedicated to consciousness of God, is very dear to Krishna. The devotee who is equal towards the so-called friends and enemies of this world, and that neither the heat nor the cold disturbs by some attachment to the body, which feels no attachment and remains equanimous that one respects or that he is insulted, always grave, satisfied in every circumstance, without a fixed residence, but always established in the consciousness of Krsna, that is infinitely dear to the Lord. Even without being established in such a transcendental position, the mere endorsement of such transcendence will make us very dear to Krishna.
