34. The Dog And The Dog-Eater (5.18-5.19)

Kṛṣṇa explains the neutrality and equanimity of Existence. Existence has no favorites. All comparative definitions are manmade. Kṛṣṇa says there is no difference between a human and an animal, between saints and sinners. Even more dramatically, He says that one in full knowledge sees the dog and the dog-eater as the same—śuni caiva śva-pāke ca paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ (5.18).

When we go beyond all three, the subject, object and verb, all disappear. The eater and the eaten merge. We reach the source. There are no thought, no mind. That is the true you, the Supreme. Existence continuously showers bliss on us. Existence sees everyone as part of the same Existence.
