anātma-buddhir de hādau
mithyā-dṛṣṭiś ca saṃsṛtau
rāgo hari-kathāsv eva
dveṣaṣ ca viṣayeṣv abhūt

anātma—not as the self; buddhiḥ—the conception; deha—to the material body; ādau—and things related to it; mithyā—as false; dṛṣṭiḥ—the vision; ca—and; saṃsṛtau—of the material world; rāgaḥ—attachment; hari—of Lord Hari; kathāsu—for the topics; eva—certainly; dveṣaḥ—hatred; ca—and; viṣayeṣu—for the objects of material sense-gratification; abhūt—is.

The devotees do not misidentify the self as the material body or things related to the body, and they see the materialworld as temporary and false. They are attracted to hear thetopics of Lord Hari, and adverse to material sense-gratification.
