TRANSLATION
At that time, the exalted devotee's mind becomes equipoised by activities of the senses, and there is no reason to accept sense objects in opposite direction; or in other words, he is called transcendental to things agreeable and not agreeable.
PURPORT
The significance of advancement in the matter of transcendental knowledge and detachment for material attraction is exhibited in the person of a highly advanced devotee, that for him there is nothing agreeable or not agreeable. The reason is that he does not act anything for his personal sense gratification; and whatever he does, whatever he thinks, everything is for the satisfaction of the Personality of Godhead. Therefore, either in the material world or in the spiritual world, his equiposition of the mind is completely manifested. And the..., so far the material world, he can understand that in the material world there is nothing as good, everything is bad on account of being contaminated by the material nature. Therefore, the materialists' conclusion of good and bad, moral and immoral, all these are simply mental concoction or sentiments because actually there is no nothing good. And in the spiritual field, everything is absolute good. There is nothing inebriety in the spiritual varieties. So because a devotee accepts everything in the spiritual vision, therefore he is equipoised. That is the symptom of his being elevated in transcendental position, and he automatically attains detachment, vairagya, and jnana, knowledge, the actual transcendental knowledge. The conclusion is that an advanced devotee is fixed up in the transcendental qualities of the Lord or he dovetails himself in the transcendental qualities of the Lord, and that is, in one sense, he becomes one with the Supreme Personality of God qualitatively.
