Yayāti’s Renunciation: The Allegory of the He-Goat and She-Goat
यदा न कुरुते भावं सर्वभूतेष्वमङ्गलम् । समदृष्टेस्तदा पुंस: सर्वा: सुखमया दिश: ॥ १५ ॥
yadā na kurute bhāvaṁ sarva-bhūteṣv amaṅgalam sama-dṛṣṭes tadā puṁsaḥ sarvāḥ sukhamayā diśaḥ
Apabila seseorang tidak menginginkan keburukan bagi mana-mana makhluk dan memandang dengan seimbang tanpa iri hati, maka baginya semua arah tampak penuh kebahagiaan.
Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī said, viśvaṁ pūrṇa-sukhāyate: when one becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious by the mercy of Lord Caitanya, for him the entire world appears happy, and he has nothing for which to hanker. On the brahma-bhūta stage, or the platform of spiritual realization, there is no lamentation and no material hankering ( na śocati na kāṅkṣati ). As long as one lives in the material world, actions and reactions will continue, but when one is unaffected by such material actions and reactions, he is to be considered free from the danger of being victimized by material desires. The symptoms of those who are satiated with lusty desires are described in this verse. As explained by Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura, when one is not envious even of his enemy, does not expect honor from anyone, but instead desires all well-being even for his enemy, he is understood to be a paramahaṁsa, one who has fully subdued the lusty desires for sense gratification.

This verse says that when one sees all beings equally and gives up any harmful intent toward anyone, one’s life becomes auspicious in every direction—free from fear and filled with well-being.
Because a mind free from malice is a hallmark of spiritual maturity; such non-envious, equal vision naturally brings peace, safety, and auspicious outcomes in one’s dealings with the world.
Practice non-malice in thought, speech, and action—pause before reacting, replace hostility with goodwill, and treat others fairly; this reduces conflict and creates a more peaceful, “auspicious in all directions” life.
