Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 13, verse 27
A short, memorable statement of the Gita's vision of sameness: the one who sees the undying Lord equally in all beings is the one who truly sees.

समं सर्वेषु भूतेषु तिष्ठन्तं परमेश्वरम् ।विनश्यत्स्वविनश्यन्तं यः पश्यति स पश्यति ॥
samaṃ sarveṣu bhūteṣu tiṣṭhantaṃ parameśvaram |vinaśyatsvavinaśyantaṃ yaḥ paśyati sa paśyati ||
One who sees the Supreme Lord present equally in all beings, not perishing when they perish, truly sees.
जो सब प्राणियों में समान रूप से स्थित परमेश्वर को देखता है, जो उनके नष्ट होने पर भी नष्ट नहीं होता, वही सच में देखता है।
जो सर्व प्राण्यांमध्ये समानपणे राहणाऱ्या परमेश्वराला पाहतो, जो ते नष्ट झाले तरी नष्ट होत नाही, तोच खरे पाहतो.
In Sanskrit, sounds at word edges merge (sandhi), so a line looks like one long word. Split it to see each word and its meaning.
समं सर्वेषु भूतेषु तिष्ठन्तं परमेश्वरम् ।विनश्यत्स्वविनश्यन्तं यः पश्यति स पश्यति ॥
यावत्संजायते किंचित्सत्त्वं स्थावरजङ्गमम् ।
Whatever comes into being, moving or unmoving, know that it arises from the union of the field and the knower of the field, O best of the Bharatas.
13.28समं पश्यन्हि सर्वत्र समवस्थितमीश्वरम् ।
Seeing the same Lord present everywhere, such a person does not harm the Self by the self, and so reaches the highest goal.
