Lokaath: from world
Na: not
Udvijate: is agitated
Cha: and
Yaha: who
Harsha-aamarsha-Bhaya-udvaegaihi: by joy, envy, fear and anxiety
Mukthaha: freed
Yaha: who
Saha: he
Cha: and
Mae: to me
Priyaha: dear
He by whom the world is not agitated (affected), and who cannot be agitated by the world, who is freed from joy, envy, fear and anxiety - he is dear to Me.
Krishna in this sloka continues in telling about a realized person.
“He by whom the world is not agitated”:
A man of realization always meditates on the atman. So the minds of such people will always be controlled and they always have the mind turned inward and hence they are not extroverted. Such people who always revels in ones own Self are every peaceful and hence are always Blissful. Such realized person will not create any agitation to the world. In fact such people will make the agitated world quite. Whenever a person goes near such a realized person they will get the peace of mind because place around such a realized person will be very peaceful.
“Who cannot be agitated by the world”:
The mind of such a real devotee will always by introverted. The introverted mind which constantly meditates on the Self will know only Bliss and hence will always rejoice in absolute Bliss. Therefore any amount of agitation outside cannot agitate the mind of that real devotee. Such people stay only as the witness to whatever happen around him and hence will not be affected by anything that happens.
“He is completely freed from joy, envy, fear and anxiety”:
These occur to those whose minds are extroverted and who sees worldly things as real. But for a real devotee who has his mind controlled know nothing but the Self. When the real devotee constantly meditates on the Self his mind will be peaceful and hence there would be nothing that would agitate his mind.
Krishna says “Such devotee is dear to Me”.
