**Meaning:** A learned person, endowed with knowledge and humility, sees equality in all beings, be it a Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, or a Chandala. ||43|| Those whose minds are established in equality have conquered the world in this very life, because Brahman is faultless and equal. Therefore, they are established in Brahman, one should understand. ||44|| The knower of Brahman, established in Brahman, with a steady mind and free from delusion, does not rejoice upon obtaining something pleasant, nor does he become distressed upon obtaining something unpleasant. ||45|| In the earlier stages, seeing equality (samyadarśana) in inequality is a fault, whereas for the detached sages, the same samyadarśana is for the destruction of attachment and aversion. ||46|| Chapter Fifteen
