13.28
समं सर्वेषु भूतेषु तिष्ठन्तं परमेश्वरम्
The bodies are constantly changing and dying. The one who sees the supreme, birthless Atman residing in these bodies as their substratum, unchanging and deathless, has the true vision of reality. Those who see only the differences and deaths are caught in the illusion of duality.
