5.19
इहैव तैर्जितः सर्गो येषां साम्ये स्थितं मनः
Brahman is omnipresent and equal in all beings, from the highest to the lowest. When a seeker's mind also reaches this state of flawless equality (free from likes, dislikes, and social bias), the barrier between the mind and Brahman falls, bringing instant liberation.
