Bhagavad Gita 13.28
समं पश्यन्हि सर्वत्र समवस्थितमीश्वरम्। न हिनस्त्यात्मनात्मानं ततो याति परां गतिम्॥
samaṁ paśyan hi sarvatra samavasthitam īśvaram na hinasty ātmanātmānaṁ tato yāti parāṁ gatim
Translation
Seeing the lord equally established everywhere, he does not injure himself by himself, and so he reaches the supreme goal.
Reflection
Notice one impulse to dismiss someone. Trace where the damage would actually land.
Read this verse in its chapter: Chapter Thirteen
Now the moral payoff of equal-seeing. The person who sees the lord equally established in every being does not injure himself by himself. Read that line slowly. Atmana atmanam na hinasti. Most ordinary harm, when traced back, turns out to be harm of self by self. Hurting another person who carries the same substrate as you injures the substrate you also carry. The damage routes back. Equal-seeing closes this loop. When the route back becomes visible, the impulse to cause harm loses its purchase. And then param gatim, the supreme goal, arrives almost as a side-effect of having stopped one specific kind of self-injury. Liberation arrives by stopping a particular blindness.
