TRANSLATION
Arjuna said: What are the symptoms of one whose consciousness is thus merged
in Transcendence? How does he speak, and what is his language? How does he sit,
and how does he walk?
PURPORT
As there are symptoms for each and every
man, in terms of his particular situation, similarly one who is Kṛṣṇa conscious has his particular nature—talking,
walking, thinking, feeling, etc. As a rich man has his symptoms by which he is
known as a rich man, as a diseased man has his symptoms, by which he is known
as diseased, or as a learned man has his symptoms, so a man in transcendental
consciousness of Kṛṣṇa has
specific symptoms in various dealings. One can know his specific symptoms from
the Bhagavad-gītā. Most
important is how the man in Kṛṣṇa
consciousness speaks, for speech is the most important quality of any man. It
is said that a fool is undiscovered as long as he does not speak, and certainly
a well-dressed fool cannot be identified unless he speaks, but as soon as he
speaks, he reveals himself at once. The immediate symptom of a Kṛṣṇa conscious man is that he speaks only of Kṛṣṇa and of matters relating to Him. Other symptoms
then automatically follow, as stated below.
