Word by Word
Krishna reveals the hallmark of a truly established yogi: the capacity to see the divine Self equally reflected in all beings, regardless of their relationship to you or their moral standing. This equanimity is not cold indifference—it is the flowering of wisdom that recognizes one eternal consciousness wearing infinite masks.
When you stop filtering people through the lens of personal preference, gain, or loss, you touch the ground of enlightenment itself. In modern life, this means practicing compassion toward both your benefactors and your adversaries, seeing in each a mirror of your own deeper nature.
