Notes: The previous verse reviews equal vision and valence in relation to inanimate substances. In here, the same stance is related to interactive living beings, established in positive, negative, and neutral relations in the social sphere. An outstanding yogi remains impartial when faced with each of these classes of beings, regardless of how they present themselves, without self-rooted discrimination in perception and interaction. The equanimous yogi relates to all sentient beings from a self-dereferenced baseline of awareness, not leveraging them for personal achievement and gratification, but rather acts in service of their authentic needs and the ultimate well-being of the conscious collective.
