Commentary (टीका)
When one sees God equally in all beings, one naturally refrains from harming others, for harming another would be harming the same Lord who dwells within. By not degrading one's own spiritual nature through wrong actions, such a person reaches the highest state. This verse connects the vision of equality with ethical conduct and spiritual attainment.
