Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-6 Dhyāna Yogaḥ

Now Sri Krishna proceeds to speak of the highest stage beyond this: — ātmaupamyena sarvatra samaṃ paśyati yo’rjuna | sukhaṃ vā yadi vā duḥkhaṃ sa yogī paramo mataḥ || 32 || 32. One who, by reason of the identity of Jīvas, sees that pleasure or pain is the same everywhere; that Yogi, O Arjuna, is deemed as the highest. Commentary One who sees all Jīvas as constituted similarly of expanded consciousness in their essential being — regards pleasures in the form of the birth of a son etc. and grief in the form of the death of one’s son, as the same as that of others — on account of all these experiences being unrelated to the true Self. In other words viewing one’s own personal pleasures and pains of the above description, as being non-different from those of others, of the same kind. This Yogi is considered to be the highest; having reached the summit of Yoga.
