[Canto 4, Ch. 31]
difference between one living entity and another. This platform is attained by determination. When perfect knowledge is expanded, one ceases to see the outward covering of the living entity. He sees, rather, the spirit soul within the body. Thus he does not make distinctions between a human being and an animal, a learned  brāhmaṇa  and a  caṇḍāla .
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)
A learned person sees everyone equally on a spiritual basis, and a learned person, a devotee, wants to see everyone developed in Krṣṇa consciousness. The place where the Pracetās were residing was perfect for executing spiritual activities, for it is indicated that the great sage Jājali attained  mukti  (liberation) there. One desiring perfection or liberation should associate with a person who is already liberated. This is called  sādhu-saṅga , associating with a perfect devotee.
