Bhagavad Gita 5.18

The wise see all with an equal eye.

Shri Bhagavan

विद्याविनयसम्पन्ने ब्राह्मणे गवि हस्तिनि ।
शुनि चैव श्वपाके च पण्डिताः समदर्शिनः ॥

vidyāvinayasampanne brāhmaṇe gavi hastini / śuni caiva śvapāke ca paṇḍitāḥ samadarśinaḥ

The wise look with an equal eye on a brahmin who has learning and humility, on a cow, on an elephant, and on a dog and a man who cooks dogs.

हिंदी · विद्या और विनय से सम्पन्न ब्राह्मण में, गाय में, हाथी में, तथा कुत्ते और चाण्डाल में भी, पण्डित समान दृष्टि रखते हैं।

What it means

The wise see all with an equal eye.

The wise see the same in a learned and humble brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog and an outcaste.
