12.15 That person who is engaged in Karma Yoga does not become the cause of fear to the world; he does nothing to cause fear to the world. He has no cause to fear the world, i.e., no action on the part of others can cause him fear because of the certainty that he is not inimical to the world. Therefore he is not in the habit of showing favour towards someone and intolerance towards others; he has no fear of some or repulsion for others. Such a person is dear to Me.
Moreover, it is said: yasyasti bhaktir bhagavaty akincana sarvair gunais tatra samasate surah One who has unflinching devotion for the Personality of Godhead has all the good qualities of the demigods. SB 5.18.12 By this statement it is understood that also other qualities which please the Lord automatically appear by the constant performance of bhakti to me. Please hear about these. Five verses describe these qualities. The qualities mentioned here-being freed from material jubilation, anger, fear and anxiety – are mentioned again in verse 17 in order to show the difficulty in becoming free from those elements.
4 5 From whom the world gets no disturbance and to whom is never disturbed by the world, to who is free from mundane pleasure is free from attachment and to who is free from elation is free from desire and to who is free from jealousy is free from envy at anothers gain. Fear is terror coming from apprehension from danger. Anxiety is the agitation of the mind because of it. Lord Krishnas devotee who is free from all these things is very dear to Him.
10 11 That person who by their actions do not become a cause of fear or trouble in their life and causing no affliction to the world has no cause to feel afflicted by the world. As no elements of antagonism exist in such a one, no action received from the world can be taken as being aggression at any time. One who is free from giving or receiving joy and grief to any being who is free from all conceptions of being the bestower of anything or the recipient of anything is very dear to the Supreme Lord Krishna.
