The Nectar of Devotion
28. Possessing Equilibrium
A person who is unaffected by attachment and envy is said to possess equilibrium.
An example of Krṣṇa’s equilibrium is given in the Tenth Canto, 16th Chapter, 29th verse, of  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  in connection with His chastising Kāliya, the hundred-headed serpent.

We know that it is in thinking of the future welfare of this condemned creature that You have chastised him.”
In another prayer it is said, “My dear Lord Krṣṇa, best of all the Kuru dynasty, You are so impartial that even if Your enemy is qualified, You will reward him; and if one of Your sons is a culprit, You will chastise him.

In fact, so great was His charity in Dvārakā that even the spiritual kingdom, with all of its opulence of  cintāmaṇi  (touchstone), desire trees and  surabhi  cows, was surpassed. In the spiritual kingdom of Lord Kṛṣṇa, named Goloka Vṛndāvana, there are  surabhi  cows which give unlimited quantities of milk. There are desire trees from which anyone can take all kinds of fruits, as much as he may desire. The land is made of touchstone, which when touched to iron will transform it into gold. In other words, although in the spiritual kingdom, the abode of Kṛṣṇa, everything is wonderfully opulent, still when Kṛṣṇa
