साधूनां समचित्तानां सुतरां मत्कृतात्मनाम् । दर्शनान्नो भवेद् बन्ध: पुंसोऽक्ष्णो: सवितुर्यथा ॥ ४१ ॥
sādhūnāṁ sama-cittānāṁ sutarāṁ mat-kṛtātmanām darśanān no bhaved bandhaḥ puṁso ’kṣṇoḥ savitur yathā
- sādhūnām
- of devotees

- who are equally disposed toward everyone
- sutarām
- excessively, completely
- mat-kṛta-ātmanām
- of persons who are fully surrendered, determined to render service unto Me
- darśanāt
- simply by the audience
- no bhavet bandhaḥ
- freedom from all material bondage
- puṁsaḥ
- of a person
- akṣṇoḥ
- of the eyes
- savituḥ yathā
- as by being face to face with the sun
When one is face to face with the sun, there is no longer darkness for one’s eyes. Similarly, when one is face to face with a sādhu, a devotee, who is fully determined and surrendered to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one will no longer be subject to material bondage.
