Bg 13.28
samaṁ sarveṣu bhūteṣu
tiṣṭhantaṁ parameśvaram
vinaśyatsv avinaśyantaṁ
yaḥ paśyati sa paśyati
Synonyms:
samam — equally; sarveṣu — in all; bhūteṣu — living entities; tiṣṭhan tam — residing; parama–īśvaram — the Supersoul; vinaśyatsu — in the destructible; avinaśyantam — not destroyed; yaḥ — anyone who; paśyati — sees; saḥ — he; paśyati — actually sees.
Translation:
One who sees the Supersoul accompanying the individual soul in all bodies, and who understands that neither the soul nor the Supersoul within the destructible body is ever destroyed, actually sees.
samaṁ, is equally
sarveṣu bhūteṣu, one who sees all living beings equally
tiṣṭhantaṁ parameśvaram, one sees the parameśvaram, the Ishwara who is Parama
Acharyas has explained what referred here in different ways, Srila Prabhupada mentioned that parameśvara refers to Superme Lord and Jiva, because Parama also means transcendental. Like Para and Apara.
So they see that Transcendental Lord is situated in all living being and they see themselves as transcendental.
Arjuna was concerned about his relatives so
vinaśyatsv avinaśyantaṁ, you should see that they are not the bodies they are the souls.
yaḥ paśyati sa paśyati, one who sees like this are the true seer.
