In plain words
Enemy, friend, son, kinsman: calling them so, give up disregard and longing; see only the Ātma in everyone; let go of the Ajñāna called difference.
In the world we give certain names to certain bodies and keep calling them by them: these are friends, these are enemies, these are sons, these are kinsmen. Calling the senses in our body by many names, we try to experience them. With names such as ‘this is a leg, this is a nose, this is a mouth, this is a hand’, we have gone on experiencing the limbs in this body. From this it becomes clear to us that name and form belong only to the body, that the Ātma experiences nothing of the kind, that it has no connection whatever with such names and forms. Yet we do not set about taking one limb to be something other, believing it separate, and experiencing it with feelings hostile to it. When the need arises to operate on some limb of our body, we set about thinking it over from every side. In such a state we do not revile one limb, or hate one limb, or love one limb. Wishing for the welfare of both, wishing for the welfare of all the limbs, we keep seeking the welfare of this body. In that same way, our Vedānta teaches us to grow an equal feeling toward all. Yet you may wonder, ‘Why should we grow such equality?’ But from time without beginning, loving the things that suit us and hating the things or the people that go against us has been a mistake that has become our habit.
