tasmāt sarveṣu bhūteṣu dayāṁ kuruta sauhṛdam |
bhāvam āsuram unmucya yayā tuṣyaty adhokṣajaḥ ||
(Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: 7.6.24)
“Therefore, one should give up the demonic mentality and engage in kindness and friendliness to all beings whereby Adhokṣaja [i.e., Bhagavān] is pleased.”
yo bandhana-vadha-kleśān prāṇināṁ na cikīrṣati |
sa sarvasya hita-prepsuḥ sukham atyantam aśnute ||
(Manu Smṛti: 5.46)
“One who does not desire to bind, kill, or trouble other living beings and [instead] desires good for them all attains unlimited happiness.”
sama-darśanād bhagavad-adhiṣṭhānatā-sāmyenātmavat pareṣv api hitam āśaṁsamānāt |
(Excerpt from the Krama-sandarbha-ṭīkā to Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 3.29.33, and Bhakti Sandarbha: 106)
“‘One of equal vision’ (sama-darśana) means one who wishes the well-being of others just like oneself on account of the equality of [others and oneself in] being adhiṣṭhānas (dwelling places) of Bhagavān.”
