Bhakti Yogah - He who is indifferent to praise and censure, silent, content with anything, homeless, of a steady mind, full of devotion—he is dear to Me.
तुल्यनिन्दास्तुतिर्मौनी सन्तुष्टो येन केनचित् |
अनिकेत: स्थिरमतिर्भक्तिमान्मे प्रियो नर: ||19||

He who is indifferent to praise and censure, silent, content with anything, homeless, of a steady mind, full of devotion—he is dear to Me.

  • Aniketa: Homeless or unattached to a dwelling.
  • Mouna: Silence as a virtue.

The devotee’s indifference to material possessions and praise reflects profound stability. This commentary connects such detachment to a higher sense of freedom and alignment with spiritual values.
