Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 5, Verse 19

Krishna said
इहैव तैर्जितः सर्गो येषां साम्ये स्थितं मनः।निर्दोषं हि समं ब्रह्म तस्माद्ब्रह्मणि ते स्थिताः ॥5.19॥

ihaiva tairjitaḥ sargo yeṣāṃ sāmye sthitaṃ manaḥnirdoṣaṃ hi samaṃ brahma tasmādbrahmaṇi te sthitāḥ

Meaning

Krishna says: those whose minds rest in equality have conquered the cycle of birth even here, in this life. Brahman (the Absolute) is flawless and the same everywhere, so they are established in Brahman.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं: जिनका मन समभाव में टिका है, उन्होंने इसी जीवन में जन्म-मरण के चक्र को जीत लिया है। ब्रह्म निर्दोष और सबमें समान है, इसलिए वे ब्रह्म में ही स्थित हैं।

Practise it today

In one conversation today, treat a junior and a senior person with exactly the same respect and patience, and notice any urge to treat them differently.

Reflect tonight

Where did you feel the urge to treat people unequally today? Did you hold steady?
