Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
हे अर्जुन! जो अपनी तुलना से (आत्मौपम्य) सर्वत्र समान रूप से देखता है — चाहे सुख हो या दुःख — वह योगी परम (सर्वश्रेष्ठ) माना गया है।
English Translation
O Arjuna, one who sees equally everywhere — whether happiness or sorrow — by comparing others with oneself, is considered the supreme yogi.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna describes the supreme yogi as one who practices 'atmaupamya' — seeing others through the lens of one's own experience. Just as I desire happiness and fear pain, so do all beings. This empathetic identification with all creatures, feeling their joy and sorrow as one's own, is the highest yoga. It is essentially the golden rule elevated to a cosmic vision of unity.
