Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-4 Jñāna Vibhāga Yogaḥ

yaj-jñātvā na punar-moham eva yāsyasi pāṇḍava | yena bhūtāny-aśeṣeṇa drakṣyasy-ātman-yatho mayi || 35 || 35. Knowing that, O Pandava (Arjuna), you will not again become deluded thus — by that knowledge you will see all beings, without exception in your Self and then in Me. Commentary Having the knowledge [taught previously], you will not again fall into this delusion of mistaking the body for the Self, which is the cause of possessiveness and the concept of agency. By that knowledge you will see in yourself all the beings which appear in diverse forms such as gods, humans, animals and vegetables — because you and all other beings are equal in terms of essential being — when freed from the hold of Prakrti. The essential nature of your own ātman and all other ātmans is comprised of consciousness. And then you will see all beings in Me without any exception, because of the equality in respect of the essential nature of all Selves in their pure state, with one another and with Me. Thus the identity of the individual Selves, when devoid of name and form, with the Supreme Self, is known from the texts like Muṇḍukya. Upaniṣad Therefore all Selves dissociated from Prakṛti are equal in nature to one another and equal in nature to the Supreme Lord of the Universe.
