jata—one who has awakened; sraddhah—faith; mat-kathasu—in the descriptions of My glories; nirvinnah—disgusted; sarva—with all; karmasu—activities; veda—he knows; duhkha—misery; atmakan—constituted of; kaman—all types of sense gratification; parityage—in the process of renouncing; api—although; anisvarah—unable; tatah—due to such faith; bhajeta—he should worship; mam—Me; pritah—remaining happy; sraddhaluh—being faithful; drdha—resolute; niscayah—conviction; jusamanah—engaging in; ca—also; tan—that; kaman—sense gratification; duhkha—misery; udarkan—leading to; ca—also; garhayan—repenting of.
Having awakened faith in the narrations of My glories, being disgusted with all material activities, knowing that all sense gratification leads to misery, but still being unable to renounce all sense enjoyment, My devotee should remain happy and worship Me with great faith and conviction. Even though he is sometimes engaged in sense enjoyment, My devotee knows that all sense gratification leads to a miserable result, and he sincerely repents such activities.

SB 11.20.31
tasman mad-bhakti-yuktasya
yogino vai mad-atmanah
na jñanam na ca vairagyam
prayah sreyo bhaved iha
tasmat—therefore; mat-bhakti-yuktasya—of one who is engaged in My loving service; yoginah—of a devotee; vai—certainly; mat-atmanah—whose mind is fixed in Me; na—not; jñanam—the cultivation of knowledge; na—nor; ca—also; vairagyam—the cultivation of renunciation; prayah—generally; sreyah—the means of achieving perfection; bhavet—may be; iha—in this world.
Therefore, for a devotee engaged in My loving service, with mind fixed on Me, the cultivation of knowledge and renunciation is generally not the means of achieving the highest perfection within this world.
Lord Krsna
