How a humble sage views others around him?
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhakthivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, Founder
Acharya, International Society for Krishna Consciousness, explains the
words of Krishna in BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS (C-5, T-18):
vidya-vinaya-sampanne
brahmane gavi hastini
suni caiva sva-pake ca
panditah sama-darsinah
TRANSLATION
The humble sage, by virtue of true knowledge, sees with equal vision a
learned and gentle brahmana, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater
[outcaste].
PURPORT
A Krsna conscious person does not
make any distinction between species or castes. The brahmana and the
outcaste may be different from the social point of view, or a dog, a
cow, and an elephant may be different from the point of view of species,
but these differences of body are meaningless from the viewpoint of a
learned transcendentalist. This is due to their relationship to the
Supreme, for the Supreme Lord, by His plenary portion as Paramatma, is
present in everyone's heart. Such an understanding of the Supreme is
real knowledge. As far as the bodies are concerned in different castes
or different species of life, the Lord is equally kind to everyone
because He treats every living being as a friend yet maintains Himself
as Paramatma regardless of the circumstances of the living entities. The
Lord as Paramatma is present in both the outcaste and in the brahmana,
although the body of a brahmana and that of an outcaste are not the
same. The bodies are material productions of different modes of material
nature, but the soul and the Supersoul within the body are of the same
spiritual quality. The similarity in the quality of the soul and the
Supersoul, however, does not make them equal in quantity, for the
individual soul is present only in that particular body whereas the
Paramatma is present in each and every body. A Krsna conscious person
has full knowledge of this, and therefore he is truly learned and has
equal vision. The similar characteristics of the soul and the Supersoul
are that they are both conscious, eternal and blissful. But the
difference is that the individual soul is conscious within the limited
jurisdiction of the body whereas the Supersoul is conscious of all
bodies. The Supersoul is present in all bodies without distinction.
