Verse 2.4.233

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 2.4.233:

कदाचिद् एव कस्मैचित् तद्-एकार्थ-स्पृहावते ।
तं दद्याद् भगवान् भक्तिं लोक-बाह्याय धीमते ॥ २३३ ॥

kadācid eva kasmaicit tad-ekārtha-spṛhāvate |
taṃ dadyād bhagavān bhaktiṃ loka-bāhyāya dhīmate || 233 ||

kadācit–sometimes; eva–indeed; kasmaicit–unto someone; tad–that; eka-artha–one-pointedly; spṛhā-vate–unto one who desires; tām–that; dadyāt–He may give; bhagavān–the Lord; bhaktim–devotional service; loka-bāhyāya–to one who has nothing to do with the world; dhī-mate–to an intelligent person.

Only rarely does Śrī Bhagavān give this prema-bhakti, and then, only to one who is highly elevated, who desires nothing other than loving devotional service to Him, and who is beyond the realm of social convention.

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

In this verse beginning with kadācit, Śrī Nārada explains that Bhagavān grants this loving devotional service only rarely to that noble-hearted person who is indifferent to the behavior of ordinary men and who, due to his strong desire for prema-bhakti, has, in the manner of one vomiting poison, given up all comforts. Because of his indifference to social custom, people consider him mad and therefore, although they may not deride him, they disregard him.
