ज्ञानी महापुरुष विद्या-विनययुक्त ब्राह्मणमें और चाण्डालमें तथा गाय, हाथी एवं कुत्तेमें भी समरूप परमात्माको देखनेवाले होते हैं। अनुभव तब स्पष्ट होता है जब उसे किसी एक घटना का आकस्मिक संयोग न मानकर एक नियम की तरह देखा जाए। यह पंक्ति उसी नियम को इस प्रसंग में रखती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
