Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-13 Prakṛti-Puruṣa-vivek Yogaḥ

Commentary One who sees the ātman as it really is, perceives it as:— • a distinctive entity present in all embodied beings. • as being 'the knower' and therefore of the same universal nature in all bodies, • as imperishable samaṃ paśyan hi sarvatra samavasthitam īśvaram | na hinasty-ātmanātmānam tato yāti parāṃ gatim || 29 || 29. For, seeing the ruler (Self) as equal and abiding alike in every place, one does not vitiate the Self by the self (mind) and therefore reaches the highest goal.
