Educational Q&A
God (Nārāyaṇa) is impartial and present equally in all beings, transcending the dualities of pleasure and pain; therefore one should cultivate samatā (equanimity) and respect all life as per śruti.
Nārada is speaking within the Śānti Parva’s instruction-oriented setting, citing śruti to affirm Nārāyaṇa’s supreme status and universal indwelling presence as a basis for ethical conduct and inner steadiness.
