Uddhava Sent to Vraja: Consolation to Nanda-Yaśodā and the Gopīs’ Separation
न ह्यस्यास्ति प्रिय: कश्चिन्नाप्रियो वास्त्यमानिन: । नोत्तमो नाधमो वापि समानस्यासमोऽपि वा ॥ ३७ ॥
na hy asyāsti priyaḥ kaścin nāpriyo vāsty amāninaḥ nottamo nādhamo vāpi sa-mānasyāsamo ’pi vā
对他而言,无人特别可爱或可憎,无人更高或更卑,也无人能与他等同。然而他并不对任何人冷漠:他不求受敬,却敬重一切众生。
This verse teaches that when one gives up false ego (amānitva) and bodily identification, the mind stops dividing people into dear and hateful, superior and inferior, and rests in spiritual equality.
In the context of Uddhava’s visit to Vraja after Krishna’s departure, he conveys elevated spiritual understanding—showing that true realization transcends personal bias, attachment, and aversion.
Practice reducing ego-based reactions—pause before labeling people as “for me” or “against me,” remember the soul beyond roles, and cultivate steady respect and compassion in success and conflict alike.
