A Man of Equal Vision

 

When you apply soap and scrub your body while taking a bath / shower,

at that time while the soap lather is on your body, how do you look?

Do you look bad? Even if you look bad, you know in your mind that " I

am really not that bad. " In your mind you are clear that it is due to

the lather from the soap that on the surface this body looks like

that, but in reality it is not like that.

 

Similarly, even if you see the worst of worst criminals, then too it

should come to your mind that superficially it appears like is he a

criminal, but within, he is a part of God (ray of God's

consciousness). By wearing black clothes, can a man become black? A

man is what His Soul is. Similarly goodness and badness in a person

is in the inner faculties, but there is no change in God's

consciousness (Soul).

 

On one side is a realized Soul, a lover of God, a great siddha; while

another is a criminal, a butcher, a thief, etc. but in both these

beings, there is no difference in the essence of God. Only the one

who loves God, is facing towards God's consciousness.

 

Therefore while behaving properly in worldly relationships, the

spiritual aspirant's sight must only be on God's consciousness. The

one whose sight remains at all times on that very essence, that God

Consciousness, is called a man of equal, impartial, objective

vision " samadarshi " .

 

On the other hand, the one whose bahavior is equal and the same in

relationships, eating / drinking, marrying with anyone, is

a " samvyarti " , not a " samdarshi " A samvyarti is like the King of

Death (Yamraj) as death comes equally to all. The man of knowledge is

called a " samdarshi, " whereas the King of Death is

called " samvyarti. "
