Shloka 28
Mokṣa–Saṃnyāsa–Tyāga–Guṇa-Vibhāga (Renunciation, Relinquishment, and the Three Guṇas) — Mahābhārata 6, Bhīṣma-parva
सम॑ पश्यन् हि सर्वत्र समवस्थितमी श्वरम् । न हिनस्त्यात्मना55त्मानं ततो याति परां गतिम्,क्योंकि जो पुरुष सबमें समभावसे स्थित परमेश्वरको समान देखता हुआ अपनेद्वारा अपनेको नष्ट नहीं करता5, इससे वह परमगतिको प्राप्त होता है
samaṁ paśyan hi sarvatra samavasthitam īśvaram | na hinasty ātmanātmānaṁ tato yāti parāṁ gatim ||
For one who, with equal vision, beholds the Lord abiding evenly in all beings does not injure the self by the self; therefore, such a person attains the supreme goal. The ethical thrust is inner non-violence and self-mastery grounded in seeing the same divine presence everywhere.

Educational Q&A
To cultivate equal vision by recognizing the same Lord present in all, which prevents inner self-destruction (through ego, hatred, and delusion) and leads to the highest spiritual attainment.
In the midst of the Kurukṣetra setting, the teaching turns from external conflict to inner discipline: the aspirant is urged to see the divine equally in all beings and thereby avoid self-harm, progressing toward liberation.
