Kṛṣṇa lists more qualities of His favorite people. A devotee is ‘Anapekṣaḥ’—he doesn’t depend on the ordinary course of things for his happiness. He is ‘Śuciḥ’ (pure) and ‘Dakshaḥ’ (expert). He is ‘Udāsīnaḥ’—unconcerned with worldly politics or gossip. He is free from pain and has renounced all selfish projects (‘Sarvārambha-parityāgī’). ‘Daksha’ or expertise is an interesting quality here. It means a devotee is not a fool; he performs his duties efficiently and skillfully, but he does it as a service. ‘Sarvārambha-parityāgī’ means he doesn’t start new ventures for his own ego or prestige. He only acts when there is a spiritual necessity. He is ‘Gata-vyathaḥ’ because he doesn’t worry about the past or the future. This paints a picture of a very capable, clean, and detached person. They are in the world but not of it. They are like a master craftsman who works with precision but doesn’t care if he is famous. This combination of competence and detachment is what Kṛṣṇa finds ‘Priya’ or beautiful in a human being.
