Adhyaya 41 — Yogic Conduct and the Discipline Leading to Siddhi
सर्वमात्ममयं यस्य सदसज्जगदीदृशम् ।
गुणागुणमयन्तस्य कः प्रियः को नृपाप्रियः ॥
sarvam ātmamayaṁ yasya sadasaj jagadīdṛśam / guṇāguṇamayantasya kaḥ priyaḥ ko nṛpāpriyaḥ
சத்-அசத் எனத் தோன்றும் இவ்வுலகம் முழுவதும் ஆத்மாவே எனக் காண்பவனும், குணம்-அகுணம் இரண்டிற்கும் அப்பாற்பட்டவனும் ஆன அவனுக்கு—அரசே—யார் பிரியர்? யார் அபிரியர்?

When one’s identity is rooted in the Self rather than in social transactions, partiality collapses. The ethical fruit is impartiality: reduced anger, favoritism, and retaliatory harm.
Not a creation/genealogy/manvantara unit; it is mokṣa-śāstra embedded in Purāṇa—teaching the liberating vision that undergirds dharma.
‘Sat and asat’ can indicate the play of manifest/unmanifest; seeing both as ātman dissolves dualistic valuation (rāga-dveṣa), a key threshold for samādhi.
