Mahavir expressed the experience of similarity in the following way: Tumamsi nama sachcheva jamhamtavam ti mannasi
“Man! The one who you want to kill is you yourself.” In this context, the following sentences of his experience of equality is significant:
Tumamsi nama sachcheva jam ajjaveyavvam ti mannasi (The one, who you think is fit to be at your command, he is you indeed) Tumamsi nama vachcheva jam partaveyavvam ti mannasi (The one, who you think fit to punish, he is you indeed.) Tumamsi nama vachcheva jam pariddhetavvam ti mannasi (The one, who you think is fit to enslave, he is you indeed.) Tumamsi nama vachcheva jam udveyavvam ti mannasi (The one, who you think is fit to be killed, he is you indeed.)
