samo ham sarva-bhutesu
na me dvesyo sti na priyah
ye bhajanti tu mam bhaktya
mayi te tesu capy aham.
I am equal in all beings, I behave equally with all, I have no Love or Hate, no partiality or prejudice. (SSS Vol.8, p. 222)
na hi jnanena sadrsam
pavitram iha vidyate
tat svayam yoga-samsiddhah
kalenatmani vindati
There is nothing to equal Jnana.
(GV, p. 125)
The Lord sees all as equal; His Heart embraces all in Love; that is the reason why the world has at least this much of peace and prosperity. (GV, p. 187)
One may have acquired high academic qualifications such as B.A. and M.A. and attained name and fame,
One may have all the wealth and one may do acts of charity and earn merit and good reputation, One may have all the physical strength and lead a long and healthy life,
One may be a Viora (Brahman) who teaches the Vedas and performs spiritual practices such as penance and meditation,
But none of them can be equal to the devotee of the Lord. (Telugu Poem)
