Educational Q&A
A yogin with disciplined mind attains samadarśana—equal vision—by recognizing one Self pervading all beings. This dissolves ego-based divisions and supports ethical action free from hatred, attachment, and partiality.
In the Bhīṣma Parva dialogue (the Bhagavad Gītā setting), Arjuna is receiving instruction on yoga and inner steadiness. This verse describes the realized yogin’s perception: the Self is seen in all beings and all beings in the Self, a vision meant to guide conduct even amid the impending battle.
