Chapter XIV

#	Sanskrit Original	Translation by Y. Subrahmanya Sarma	Translation by Swami Bhuteshananda	Translation by Swami Sivananda
61.	लोकहानौ चिन्ता न कार्या निवेदितात्मलोकवेदत्वात्॥	One need not worry if one's affairs go wrong, for the self, worldly affairs and even the Vedas have been surrendered to the Lord.	One should not worry about the loss of public appreciation because the devotee has surrendered his self, public esteem and the adherence to injunctions of the scriptures.	One should feel no anxiety about worldly concerns, as he has consecrated himself and scriptural functions all to the Lord.
62.	न तदसिद्धौ लोकव्यवहारो हेयः किन्तु फलत्यागस्तत्साधनं च कार्यमेव॥	So long as this Bhakti is not achieved, the ordinary way of life should not be given up, but renunciation of the desire for reward of actions and discipline preparatory to it, should be persistently practised.	For the success in the path of devotion, one should not discard the (good) dealings with others; but renunciation of the fruits of actions as well as the means of their attainment should be maintained.	Till Bhakti is developed, no social customs and ceremonies are to be neglected, but simply their fruits. One should surely perform them. The relinquishing of the fruits should be verily practised.
63.	स्त्रीधननास्तिकचरित्रं न श्रवणीयम्॥	Accounts of women, wealth and of unbelievers should not be listened to.	The descriptions about women (sex), wealth, people who do not believe in God and enemies are not to be heard.	The seeker after Bhakti should not hear stories or description of women, riches, atheists and enemies.
64.	अभिमानदम्भादिकं त्याज्यम्॥	Pride, vanity and other vices should be eschewed.	Pride, vanity and other vices are to be given up.	Egoism, hypocrisy, etc., should be discarded.
65.	तदर्पिताखिलाचारः सन् कामक्रोधाभिमानादिकं तस्मिन्नेव करणीयम् ॥	All acts should be offered up to Him and even feelings like desire and pride should be entertained with reference to Him only.	One should devote all actions to God and direct lust, anger, pride etc. towards Him only.	Having once surrendered all his acts to God, he (the devotee) should exhibit desire, anger, egoism etc., only to God.
66.	त्रिरूपभङ्गपूर्वकं नित्यदास्यनित्यकान्ताभजनात्मकं प्रेम कार्यं प्रेमैव कार्यम्॥	The three-dimensional form of love should be destroyed, and love and love alone should be entertained - devoted love of the eternal servant and of the eternal wife.	Having transcended the three categories of gauni bhakti, one must render constant service to God either as a servant or as a wife, and love Him and Him alone.	Love that annihilates the three-fold forms of secondary devotion due to the qualities of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas (vide Sutra 56) and makes one regard himself or herself as eternal servant or beloved of God alone is to be cultivated.
