Translation
When one’s peaceful consciousness, strengthened by the mode of goodness, is fixed on the Personality of Godhead, one achieves religiosity, knowledge, detachment and opulence.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
When one’s peaceful consciousness, strengthened by sattva, is fixed on Paramātmā, one achieves dharma, jṣāna, vairāgya and aiśvarya.
What results remain to be obtained? The bhakti just described cannot be explained to be bhakti which is an aṅga of jṣāna. Bhakti which is an aṅga of jṣāna is different from that, and has the nature of sattva-guṇa. By that type of bhakti mixed with sattva-guṇa devotee with material desires attains dharma, jṣāna, vairāgya and aiśvarya. That is explained in this verse. When the peaceful mind absorbed in me, Paramātmā, concentrates on me with sattva-guṇa-bhakti, one achieves dharma, jṣāna, vairāgya and aiśvarya.
Purport
A pure devotee becomes peaceful,
śānta,
by desiring everything for the service of the Lord and nothing for himself. He is strengthened by the transcendental, or purified, mode of goodness and thus achieves the supreme religious principle of directly serving the Lord. He also achieves
jṣāna,
or knowledge of the Lord’s form and his own spiritual body, detachment from material piety and sin, and the opulences of the spiritual world. One who is not a pure devotee of the Lord, however, but whose devotion is mixed with a fascination for mystic knowledge, is strengthened by the material mode of goodness. Through his meditation on the Lord he achieves the lesser results of
dharma
(piety in the mode of goodness),
jṣāna
(knowledge of spirit and matter) and
vairāgya
(detachment from the lower modes of nature). Ultimately, one should be a pure devotee of the Lord, since even the best the material world has to offer is most insignificant compared to the kingdom of God.
