विद्याविनयसंपन्ने ब्राह्मणे गवि हस्तिनि।
शुनि चैव श्वपाके च पण्डिताः समदर्शिनः।।5.18।।
।।5.18।। (ऐसे वे) ज्ञानीजन विद्या और विनय से सम्पन्न ब्राह्मण तथा गाय हाथी श्वान और चाण्डाल में भी सम तत्त्व को देखते हैं।।
Due to this supra-conscious awareness illuminating ones intelligence atma tattva or realisation of the soul is attained and once this happens then one realises the soul, as a manifestation of the Supreme Lord existing equally in all living beings. This is purport Lord Krishna is giving in this verse. Now begins the summation. Even though there are external differences in the forms among embodied beings including humans, aquatics, animals and plants, the Supreme Lord Krishna is ever present in each and every being as a witness energising them all as the Supreme Soul and from whom a minuscule portion comprises the eternal individual soul.
