Verse

तुल्यनिन्दास्तुतिर्मौनी संतुष्टो येन केनचित् ।अनिकेतः स्थिरमतिर् भक्तिमान्मे प्रियो नरः ॥

Equal to friend and enemy, equal to honour and insult, pleasure and pain, praise and blame, grief and happiness, heat and cold (to all that troubles with opposite affections the normal nature), silent, content and well-satisfied with anything and everything, not attached to person or thing, place or home, firm in mind (because it is constantly seated in the highest self and fixed for ever on the one divine object of his love and adoration), that man is dear to Me.
