He who has let go of hatred,
who treats all beings with kindness
and compassion, who is always serene,
unmoved by pain or pleasure,

free of the “I” and “mine”,
self-controlled, firm and patient,
his whole mind focused on me —
that man is the one I love best.

He who neither disturbs
the world nor is disturbed by it,
who is free of all joy, fear, envy —
that man is the one I love best.

He who is pure, impartial,
skilled, unworried, calm,
selfless in all undertakings —
that man is the one I love best.

He who, devoted to me,
is beyond joy and hatred, grief
and desire, good and bad fortune —
that man is the one I love best.

The same to both friend and foe,
the same in disgrace or honor,
suffering or joy, untroubled,
indifferent to praise and blame,

quiet, filled with devotion,
content with whatever happens,
at home wherever he is —
that man is the one I love best.

Those who realize the essence
of duty, who trust me completely
and surrender their lives to me —
I love them with very great love.
