yas tu sarvāṇi bhūtāni ātmany evānupaśyati | sarvabhūteṣu cātmānaṁ tato na vijugupsate
📜 THE VERSE
Whoever sees all beings in the self, and the self in all beings — such a one recoils from no one.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
In the very person I despise, is there not something the same as in me?
📝Reflection
Hatred usually grows when we split 'me' and 'you' into wholly different things. This verse cuts a window in that wall. When we see in the other the same fear, the same longing, the same wound as in ourselves, contempt loses its footing. Confucius's 'do not do to others what you would not want' flows from this very seeing. The eye that beholds another as oneself is not a moral command but a field of vision that opens on its own to one who has seen the source.
