यस्मान्नोद्विजते लोको लोकान्नोद्विजते च यः।हर्षामर्षभयोद्वेगैर्मुक्तो यः स च मे प्रियः॥
yasmān nodvijate loko lokān nodvijate ca yaḥharṣāmarṣa-bhayodvegair mukto yaḥ sa ca me priyaḥ
Word by word
The verse says
The one the world is not disturbed by, and who is not disturbed by the world, who is free of delight and resentment and fear and agitation — that one is dear to me.
In plain words
Both directions, and the first is the unusual one.
Not troubled by people, which we expect. And: people are not troubled by him.
That second half rules out a whole kind of spiritual seriousness — the sort that makes everybody in the room slightly uncomfortable.
Where you've felt this · in community
Two people run the residents' association. One sends long messages about bin collections and everybody's shoulders go up when his name appears. The other handles twice as much and nobody has ever felt got at. The bins are equally well managed in both cases.
Going deeper
Not being hard to be around is listed as a spiritual quality, which is rarer in religious writing than it should be.
The first half is the familiar ideal: unshaken by what people do. The second half is the test that catches most people who have achieved the first. It is entirely possible to become unshakeable and also exhausting — rigid, correcting, visibly tolerating everybody. That passes the first half and fails the second.
The four things named are also worth separating. Delight and resentment are the pair; fear and agitation are what comes from stakes.
And there is an unsentimental test in this verse that anybody can run, though not on themselves. Whether people relax or brace when you come in is not something you can assess from the inside, which is exactly why it is a good measure.
