विद्याभिजनसम्पन्ने ब्राह्मणे गवि हस्तिनि । शुनि चैव श्वपाके च पण्डिता: समदर्शिन:
vidyābhijanasampanne brāhmaṇe gavi hastini | śuni caiva śvapāke ca paṇḍitāḥ samadarśinaḥ ||
毗耶娑教示：真正的智者持平等观——他们在博学而出身高贵的婆罗门身上，亦在牛、象、狗，乃至食狗者（贱民）身上，都认见同一灵性实相。因此，道德的辨识不以社会等级或物种为据，而在于见一自我遍在诸有情之中，并以不轻蔑、不偏私之心应对一切。
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
The core teaching is samadarśitva—equal spiritual vision: the wise perceive the same Self/Brahman in all beings, regardless of learning, birth, or social status, and therefore avoid contempt, prejudice, and partiality.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and inner peace, Vyāsa states a principle of true wisdom: a paṇḍita’s insight is shown by impartial perception across human and non-human beings, including those socially marginalized.
