सर्वभूतस्थमात्मानं सर्वभूतानि चात्मनि
रिक्षते योगयुक्तात्मा सर्वत्र समदर्शनः
sarvabhūtasthamātmānaṃ sarvabhūtāni cātmani
rikṣate yogayuktātmā sarvatra samadarśanaḥ
TRANSLATION
He whose mind is fixed in Yoga sees equality everywhere; he sees his self as abiding in all beings and all beings in his self.
PURPORT
(i) On account of the similarity between one self and other selves when They are separated from Prakrti (i.e., the body), all selves are by Themselves only of the nature of knowledge. Inequalities pertain only to Prakrti or the bodies they are embodied in. One whose mind is fixed in Yoga has the experience of the sameness of the nature of all the selves as centres of intelligence, the perceived difference being caused only by the body. When separated from the body all are alike because of their being forms of centres of intelligence. An enlightened Yogin therefore sees himself as abiding in all beings and all beings abiding in his self in the sense that he sees the similarity of the selves in himself and in every being. When one self is visualised, all selves become visualised, because of the similarity of all selves. This is supported by the statements: ‘He sees sameness everywhere’ (6.29). The same is again referred to in, ‘This Yoga of equality which has been declared by you’ (6.33), and the statement ‘The Brahman when uncontaminated is the same everywhere’(5.19).
