Bhagavad Gita 13.28

समं पश्यन्हि सर्वत्र समवस्थितमीश्वरम्।न हिनस्त्यात्मनाऽऽत्मानं ततो याति परां गतिम्॥

samaṃ paśyanhi sarvatra samavasthitamīśvaram |na hinastyātmanā''tmānaṃ tato yāti parāṃ gatim ||

For he who truly sees the same Lord dwelling everywhere does not destroy the Self by the self; rather, he attains the highest goal.

Translation by Swami Sivananda · Public domain in India (translator d. 1963)

Beholding the Lord equally in all things, his actions do not mar his spiritual life but lead him to the heights of bliss.

Translation by Shri Purohit Swami · Public domain in India (translator d. 1941)
