Bhagavad Gita 12.19

Krishna speaking to Arjuna

तुल्यनिन्दास्तुतिर्मौनी सन्तुष्टो येनकेनचित्। अनिकेतः स्थिरमतिर्भक्ितमान्मे प्रियो नरः ॥

tulya-nindā-stutir maunī santuṣhṭo yena kenachit aniketaḥ sthira-matir bhaktimān me priyo naraḥ

Taking equally praise and reproach, silent, wholly content with what cometh, homeless, firm in mind, full of devotion, that man is dear to Me.

In plain words: Krishna ends the description: this person takes praise and criticism the same way. They speak little and are happy with whatever comes. They are not tied to one home, they have a steady mind and they are full of devotion. Such a person is dear to Krishna.
