विद्याविनयसंपन्ने ब्राह्मणे गवि हस्तिनि ।शुनि चैव श्वपाके च पण्डिताः समदर्शिनः ॥
vidyāvinayasaṃpanne brāhmaṇe gavi hastiniśuni caiva śvapāke ca paṇḍitāḥ samadarśinaḥ
Sages see with an equal eye the learned and cultured Brahmin, the cow, the elephant, the dog, the outcaste.
Gītā 5·18The result is… a perfect equality to all things and all persons; and then only can we repose our works completely in the Brahman. For the Brahman is equal, samam brahma, and it is only when we have this perfect equality, sämye sthitam manaù, “seeing with an equal eye the learned and cultured Brahmin, the cow, the elephant, the dog, the outcaste” and knowing all as one Brahman, that we can, living in that oneness, see like the Brahman our works proceeding from the nature freely without any fear of attachment, sin or bondage.
