पश्यत: सर्वभूतानि सर्वावस्थासु सर्वदा | ब्रह्म भूतस्य संयोगो नाशुभेनोपपद्यते,सब अवस्थाओंमें सदा समस्त भूतोंको आत्मरूपसे देखनेवाले उस ब्रह्मस्वरूप ज्ञानीका कभी भी अशुभ कर्मोंसे सम्पर्क होना सम्भव नहीं है

Transliteration

paśyataḥ sarvabhūtāni sarvāvasthāsu sarvadā | brahma bhūtasya saṃyogo nāśubhenopapadyate ||

Translation

The hunter said: For one who, at all times and in every condition, truly sees all beings as the Self, established in Brahman, there can be no real association with inauspicious action. Such a knower does not become tainted by evil, because his vision is rooted in the one reality present in all.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

A person established in Brahman, who consistently perceives all beings as the one Self across every circumstance, is not truly tainted by inauspicious action; the non-dual vision prevents moral and karmic contamination from taking hold.

What is happening in the narrative?

In the Vyādha’s instruction on dharma (the hunter’s discourse), he explains to his listener that genuine spiritual realization—seeing the Self in all beings—transforms one’s relation to action, making association with evil or impurity impossible for the Brahman-realized knower.
