Meaning
...who takes blame and praise alike, speaks little, is content with whatever comes, is not tied to a home, has a steady mind and is full of devotion: that person is dear to me, says Krishna.
हिंदी में अर्थ
...जो निंदा और प्रशंसा को समान मानता है, कम बोलता है, जो कुछ मिले उसी में संतुष्ट रहता है, किसी घर-ठिकाने से बँधा नहीं है, जिसका मन स्थिर है और जो भक्ति से भरा है, वह व्यक्ति मुझे प्रिय है, श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं।
When someone praises or criticises you today, simply say thank you and avoid arguing, explaining or boasting. Speak less than usual.
Did praise or criticism come your way today? Could you receive it without reacting much?
