Seeing the same Lord present everywhere, one does not injure the Self by the self, and thus attains the highest goal.

  • Non-Self-Injury:: Recognizing the Divine in others prevents us from harming them, which is ultimately harming ourselves.
  • Highest Destination:: Treating all life with respect and love leads the soul directly to the highest liberation.
