106 Rāja-vidyā: The King of Knowledge
gītā  says that he is a learned man who can see everything on an equal level.
vidyā-vinaya-sampanne brāhmaṇe gavi hastini śuni caiva śvapāke ca paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ
“The humble sage, by virtue of true knowledge, sees with equal vision a learned and gentle  brāhmaṇa , a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater (outcaste).” (Bg. 5.18)
In India, according to Vedic civilization, a  brāhmaṇa  who is learned is considered to be the top-most man in human society. The  paṇḍita , who is learned and gentle, sees such a  brāhmaṇa  on the same level with a dog or an outcaste who eats dogs. In other words, he sees no distinctions between the highest and the lowest. Is this to say that being a learned  brāhmaṇa  is no better than being a dog? No, that is not so. But the  paṇḍita  sees them as the same because he does not see the skin but the spirit. One who has learned the art of seeing the same spirit soul within every living being is considered to be a  paṇḍita , for in actuality every living being is a spiritual spark, part and parcel of the complete spirit whole. The spiritual spark is the same in all, but it is covered by different dresses. An honored man may come in a very shabby dress, but this does not mean that he should be dishonored. In  Bhagavad-gītā  these material bodies are likened unto dresses which are worn by the spirit soul.
