समोऽहं सर्वभूतेषु न मे द्वेष्योऽस्ति न प्रियः | ये भजन्ति तु मां भक्त्या मयि ते तेषु चाप्यहम्
samo.ahaṃ sarvabhūteṣu na me dveṣyo.asti na priyaḥ . ye bhajanti tu māṃ bhaktyā mayi te teṣu cāpyaham
我对一切众生一视同仁,于我无所憎恶,亦无所偏爱。然而,那些以虔诚之心敬奉我的人,他们在我之中,我也在他们之中。
I am impartial towards all beings; to Me there is none detastable or none dear. But those who worship Me with devotion, they exist in Me, and I too exist in them.
主对一切众生都抱持平等之心,无所憎恶,亦无所偏爱。他不是任何人的敌人,也不是任何人的偏爱者。主之恩典流向万物。然而,奉献者因其心向主敞开,得以自由地接受这份恩典。这就像火能为靠近它的人驱散寒冷,却无法为远离它的人驱寒;又如太阳的光芒普照万物,却只在洁净的镜子中反射,而不在瓦罐中显现。同样,我,至高无上的主,虽无处不在,却只显现于那些因虔诚而清除心中一切杂染的人。
The Lord has an even outlook towards all. He regards all living beings alike. None He has condemned? none has He favoured. He is the enemy of none. He is the partial lover of none. He does not favour some and frown on others. The egoistic man only has created a wide gulf between himself and the Supreme Being by his wrong attitude. The Lord is closer to him that his own breath? nearer than his hands and feet.I am like fire. Just as fire removes cold from those who draw near it but does not remove the cold from those who keep away from it? even so I bestow My grace on My devotees? but not owing to any sort of attachment on My part. Just as the light of the sun? though pervading everywhere? is reflected only in a clean mirror but not in a pot? so also I? the Supreme Lord? present everywhere? manifest Myself only in those persons from whose minds all kinds of impurities (which have accumulated there on account of ignorance) have been removed by their devotion.The sun has neither attachment for the mirror nor hatred for the pot. The Kalpavriksha has neither hatred nor love for people. It bestows the desired objects only on those who go near it. (Cf.VII.17XII.14and20)Now hear the glory of devotion to Me.
