After emphasizing the supremacy of devotion to His personal form, Shree Krishna elaborates on the qualities of His beloved devotees from verses 13 to 19.

Free from malice toward all living beings: Devotees recognise the divine essence in every living being, leading them to harbor no ill will even towards those who may oppose them.

Friendly and compassionate: Devotion fosters a sense of unity among all beings, eradicating feelings of alienation and nurturing empathy towards others’ suffering.

Free from attachment to possessions and egotism: Pride poses a significant obstacle to spiritual progress. Devotees cultivate humility and relinquish pride and possessiveness, recognizing their true identity beyond the physical body.

Equipoised in happiness and distress: With unwavering faith in divine will, devotees accept outcomes with equanimity, understanding that their efforts are within their control while results are determined by God.

Ever forgiving: Rather than seeking retribution, devotees refrain from holding grudges, recognizing that harboring such negativity hinders spiritual growth.

Ever contented: True contentment arises from reducing desires rather than accumulating possessions. Devotees find fulfillment beyond material acquisitions, content with whatever they receive.

Steadily united with Me in devotion: Devotees remain steadfastly absorbed in God, their consciousness unwaveringly fixed on the divine, fostering a constant union with the Supreme.

Self-controlled: By directing their minds towards God, devotees gain mastery over their senses and thoughts, exercising control over their actions and reactions.

Firm in conviction: Grounded in scriptural knowledge and Guru’s teachings, devotees possess unwavering determination, remaining steadfast in their faith despite external influences.

Dedicated to Me in mind and intellect: Recognizing their inherent servitude to God, devotees dedicate their minds and intellects to the Supreme, aligning their entire being in His service, earning Shree Krishna’s utmost affection.
