गोप्य ऊचुः भजतोऽनुभजन्त्येक एक एतद्विपर्ययम् । नोभयांश्च भजन्त्येक एतन्नो ब्रूहि साधु भोः ।। १०-३२-१६ ।।

sanskrit

The gopīs said: Some people reciprocate the affection only of those who are affectionate toward them, while others show affection even to those who are indifferent or inimical. And yet others will not show affection toward anyone. Dear Kṛṣṇa, please properly explain this matter to us. ।। 10-32-16 ।।

श्रीभगवानुवाच मिथो भजन्ति ये सख्यः स्वार्थैकान्तोद्यमा हि ते । न तत्र सौहृदं धर्मः स्वार्थार्थं तद्धि नान्यथा ।। १०-३२-१७ ।।

sanskrit

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: So-called friends who show affection for each other only to benefit themselves are actually selfish. They have no true friendship, nor are they following the true principles of religion. Indeed, if they did not expect benefit for themselves, they would not reciprocate. ।। 10-32-17 ।।

भजन्त्यभजतो ये वै करुणाः पितरौ यथा । धर्मो निरपवादोऽत्र सौहृदं च सुमध्यमाः ।। १०-३२-१८ ।।

sanskrit

My dear slender-waisted gopīs, some people are genuinely merciful or, like parents, naturally affectionate. Such persons, who devotedly serve even those who fail to reciprocate with them, are following the true, faultless path of religion, and they are true well-wishers. ।। 10-32-18 ।।

भजतोऽपि न वै केचिद्भजन्त्यभजतः कुतः । आत्मारामा ह्याप्तकामा अकृतज्ञा गुरुद्रुहः ।। १०-३२-१९ ।।

sanskrit

Then there are those individuals who are spiritually self-satisfied, materially fulfilled or by nature ungrateful or simply envious of superiors. Such persons will not love even those who love them, what to speak of those who are inimical. ।। 10-32-19 ।।

नाहं तु सख्यो भजतोऽपि जन्तून् भजाम्यमीषामनुवृत्तिवृत्तये । यथाधनो लब्धधने विनष्टे तच्चिन्तयान्यन्निभृतो न वेद ।। १०-३२-२० ।।

sanskrit

But the reason I do not immediately reciprocate the affection of living beings even when they worship Me, O gopīs, is that I want to intensify their loving devotion. They then become like a poor man who has gained some wealth and then lost it, and who thus becomes so anxious about it that he can think of nothing else. ।। 10-32-20 ।।
