Prabhupāda: The same example: In dream I am not attacked by the tiger, but I am thinking, "Oh, tiger is there." It is a simply dreaming condition.

Sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyaya kalpate (BG 14.26), Kṛṣṇa says. Immediately brahma-bhūtaḥ. Brahmā-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati (BG 18.54). He has no more lamentation, no more hankering. Samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu: he can see everyone on equal vision. Because he knows, "Here is also another living entity. He is not a Chinaman.
